Rail King - Crackpot Podcast 45

Our good friend Tony joins us for episode 45 of the Crackpot Podcast.  Tony has a fascinating life story and we only really scratched the surface here, talking a little about being homeless starting at age 15, riding the rails like a hobo, working so many odd and arduous jobs, and raising hell all over the Pacific Northwest.

The Crackpot Podcast features James LaFond, a writer with the uncanny ability to attract interesting people, and Lynn Lockhart, beloved sister of them all.
