Podcast: Iron Horse Road: A Tale from Gold Mountain

July 19, 2023

Premiers on Wednesday, July 19th, 2023

Depiction of a Chinese railroad worker standing in water in front of a railroad tunnel blocked by a huge stone

Iron Horse Road recounts one of the great neglected epics of American history. 20,000 Chinese laborers tunneled through granite mountains, dangled over cliffs, and dragged entire trains over alpine summits where other Americans feared to tread. The prosperity of the oncoming gilded age was founded on their blood, sweat and grit, but their story has long been minimized and forgotten.

Equal parts history and travelogue, Iron Horse Road uses binaural 3D audio to transport the listener to deep canyons, echoing caverns and windswept peaks–a world where adventure is always around the corner, and the past is carved in blood and stone.

Stay tuned for the Wednesday July 19th, 2023 release on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Overcast, RSS Feed. You can also listen here at https://blood-on-gold-mountain.captivate.fm/.
