Listen: Forgotten Alberta with Joe McFarland

Thanks to Joe McFarland at CHQR770 yesterday for the amazing opportunity to talk about ghost towns – specifically (old) Bow City and Alderson (a.k.a Carlstadt, a.k.a. Langevin). It was lots of fun, with minimal stammering.

I have embedded the podcast of yesterday’s broadcast below  for your listening enjoyment. You can check out the scary situation at Calgary City Hall first, or fast forward to 6:55 where my interview kicks in.

For reference, here are a few links to content on the site about Alderson, and (old) Bow City:

• Bow City: The village born unlucky
• Alderson: The past remains

Also be sure to check out Empire of Dust by David C. Jones – a compelling read that has influenced me greatly.
