Ep. 173: Rocky Martin: The Stanley Hotel
We may have changed up our schedule and wanted to change our names, but the chaos remains the same, with a couple kitty production assistants who are not very *demure*. This week Shannon fills us in on the kinda sweet history and spooky present of Colorado’s famous Stanley Hotel. The inspiration behind Steven King’s The Shining remains one of America’s most haunted locations, but is it all true? Stay to the end for some potato talk and feel free to take a drink every time Emma says “patada.”
