    Episode 37 - @relentlesshistory - neon places in wideopen spaces
    Nov 21 2024
    Lisa Michele, @relentlesshistory, joined me for this week's episode of International Sign Finders as her second book--Vintage Signs of Utah Vol II--hits the store shelves.

    I need to apologize for the crappy sound of this week's episode...I forgot to switch the sound input of MY mic, so I was just using my computer's mic and Lisa Michele sounds great.

    Me...well...you're here for her and that's the main point.

    We talk about Salt Lake City, Ogden, Helper, Panguitch and places here there and everywhere.

  • Episode 36 - @heavypagespress - Intro to the Chicago Style

    Episode 36 - @heavypagespress - Intro to the Chicago Style
    Oct 28 2024
    Kelsey McClellan joins the show this week and educates me about the Chicago Style of Sign Painting, the Beverly Sign Company, and Stock Car painting. I get a bit derailed, per usual, but I'm glad to admit I was a tabla rasa when it comes to this topic. Kelsey was very awesome to share the Beverly Sign Company story and tell us about the books that are hitting the shelves soon!

    You can follow Kelsey and Andrew here:

    You can order your Book about the Bevery Sign Company at

    The Neon Sign museum I got wrong is the Museum of Neon Art in Glendale, CA.

    And one of the Houston Neon videos I talk about is here.

    Oct 21 2024
    Stefanie Poteet - @retroroadsidephotography - joins the show and we talk about her Hero arc from college graduate to Cross Country Voyagers to where she is at today. It was a blast having her on the show and I'm sure we could talk for a few more hours in the future.

    Correction: The Montana Bar I was talking about is in Miles City, MT and sits on US 12 just north of Interstate 94 in the Treasure State.

    Episode 34 - @hmdavidcalmod - From San Jose with Love
    Oct 13 2024
    It's been a wild week. I was on a cruise with my family and had it interrupted by Hurricane Milton. I finally got this week's show together with the AMAZING Heather David. She's a veritable 5-tool player in the sign game: restoring, fundraising, author, and so on. She gives many-a-great reason to put San Jose, CA on your sign finding bucket list.

    One point of correction: the Atlas Sign has a kinda sorta not so much similar look to the Western Appliance sign. It had been a while since I saw the Atlas sign completely and it only has two vertical supports and not three. That's me screwing it up. Thanks Debra Jane for the correction!
