Remember the state quarters? I certainly don't remember all of them, but I remember one vividly - the New Hampshire quarter, with the profile of a stone face on the back.

Well, that face fell not long after the quarter came out. This is the story of that face, The Old Man of the Mountain, and what's been done to commemorate him in the sixteen years since he fell. https://iconographypodcast.com/episodes/the-old-man-of-the-mountain-a-story-in-five-pieces-s1!a8d4e

‪New episode alert! 🤳🎧👂 Matt Villamaino joins us on a journey into the past through some of Plymouth Rock’s most important days. Wade Roush of Soonish and Tamar Avishai of The Lonely Palette make some important cameos along the way. Go forth!

Visitors to Plymouth Rock tend to find the icon... underwhelming - a small, scarred rock in a cage.

People love tellin...

New episode alert! We finish our look at the legacy of the Mayflower by looking at the project to reconstruct it in the 1950s.

In the 1950s, something must have been in the water, because all of a sudden, there was a movement afoot to put a replica of the Mayflower in the water. For one man to become obsessed with the idea of rebuilding the Pilgrim's famed ship, to throw all his time and money into that single-minded pursui...

Part one of the Witch Hunt series is here! This is an episode I've brewing for almost three years, since the release of Robert Eggers's the witch, months before Iconography was even an inkling.
