In this episode, the gang follows up on one of the subjects of our first episode and explores the fascinating story of Leonard Knight and his creation of Salvation Mountain, a vibrant, handmade monument found in slab city California. Knight’s vision, born out of a deep religious conviction, turned an isolated patch of land into a colorful beacon of creativity. Join us as we dive into his journey, the meaning behind the mountain, and how his passion for spreading love through art continues to inspire people internationally.
Take it some time for the holidays our next episode will launch frist week of the new year!
