• The Captain Bailey House and Hollenberg Station
    Oct 30 2024

    We are continuing our ghostly tour of the Midwest. This week, we try to find out what really happened at the Captain Bailey House in Brownville, Nebraska, that left the spirits uneasy. Then, we explore Hollenberg Station, near Hanover, Kansas, that may very well still be home to some very daring souls.

    And stay until the end--we learn some interesting facts about harvesting corn and the dynamic intersection of science, technology, and agriculture that is agricultural engineering.

    **This episode contains themes of death.
