Atlas Obscura's mission is to inspire wonder and curiosity about the incredible world we all share. With its new podcast, Atlas Obscura co-founder and host Dylan Thuras will take listeners on an audio journey to discover new and hidden places; perhaps on the other side of the world, or perhaps in one's own backyard. Once there, listeners will hear stories and history from the incredible people who make these places special.
