An Indigenous tribe named the Podunk once lived along the Connecticut River. The origin of the name is murky, but it probably described the place where the Podunk lived: boggy, swampy, or maybe even a junction of streams and rivers.

In the tradition of great storytellers, Davis continues to approach Off The Path in serial form. 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!
