He’ll explore this season, in 2 or 3 installments, and then combine them into a single podcast episode. Here, you’ll find those individual installments, which we’re calling “Mile Markers.” Enjoy the ride!

An original "Andre the Giant Has a Posse" sticker on a trash can in Providence's Nice Slice pizzeria.

The streets of Providence, Rhode Island were plastered with an unusual sticker in the summer of 1989. It was a grainy black-and-white picture of a bulky, scowling man, with the words: “Andre the Giant has a Posse.” The artist behind that sticker went on to leave a mark on American political history. Seriously.

Davis Dunavin loves telling stories, whether on the radio or around the campfire. He started in Missouri and ended up in Connecticut, which, he'd like to point out, is the same geographic trajectory taken by Mark Twain.
