Booktalk: Ella Morton, co-author of “Atlas Obscura: An Explorer’s Guide To The World’s Hidden Wonders”

Dear Explorers, this is not your usual travel guide. Ella describes the book’s beginnings and how it came to be filled with some 700 sights you’ve not likely seen. Not many people have. Such as the Stairway to Heaven in Hawaii, the secret apartment in the Eiffel Tower and that flaming hole in the Turkmenistan desert. This edition originally aired April 14, 2017 and was rebroadcast on May 17, 2019 .
