Monte's job under his new identity, is Executive Producer of a low-rent Medieval Dinner Theater called Teutonic Knights. Enter Dr. Jerry Stewart, Mountain City’s brilliant but eccentric recluse billionaire pharmaceutical tycoon, with his own terrifying secret history. Dr. Stewart has a passion for knighthood, chivalry and… mass murder.
Captured and drugged by Stewart, Monte is miraculously transported back to the violent, primitive Middle Ages—to “Camelot” to be more precise—where he finds that King Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere and the Knights of the Round Table, Dr. Stewart’s icons, are not anything like their mythic image would suggest.
In an act of desperate self-survival, Monte summons all his television-producing skill to make Camelot more like an entertaining, music-filled dinner theater than its Early Medieval historical reality.

Our background is in archaeology, history, and cultural heritage as it is usually understood. But in Places of Legend we aim to upend the normal relationship between past, present, and future: with an ever-evolving series of stories about long-lost memories, unmasked misconceptions, and unexpected twists of fate that reveal the persistence of the past.
We dig into the sensations that hint at that persistence — from the skin-prickling tingle as we turn the corner on a certain street to the faint whiff of burnt sweetness in the air on an otherwise normal winter day to the rustle we hear as we try to fall asleep in an old hotel room. We believe that such sensations — and the mysterious or spooky aura that such places often carry hint at an undercurrent of past memories and stories that are yearning to be told again. This podcast brings such stories back to the surface of our consciousness.

Some guides report that after dark, long after closing time, they have heard eerie footsteps approaching down the Victorian mansion’s countless hallways and disembodied voices whispering unrecognizable names.
But the spirits, the curse, and never-ending hauntings of the famous mansion are all part of a carefully constructed, money-making tall-tale. But that is not to say that the Winchester Mystery House has no historical value. Its existence as a tourist attraction was a brilliant stroke of imagination and public promotion. In fact, this is the story of how the Winchester Mystery House became the model for haunted houses at amusement parks and Halloween fright houses all over the United States.
Listen to the story behind the haunting of the Stone House and the surrounding land — a story that is quite different than the schoolbooks taught us about the battle at the Little Bighorn.
Listen to the sticky story of Boston’s industrial disaster — which traces its way through the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the trenches of WWI battlefields, and the run on liquor experienced on the eve of Prohibition.
From secret laboratories to atomic beauty pageants — from Duck and Cover to all-night bomb watching parties, listen to the story of how the Nevada Test Site helped to create the Atomic Age.
In this inaugural episode, we explore Room 506 in the Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence, Kansas, where it is rumored that the ghost of the self-styled Colonel Eldridge haunts guests to this day.
The Eldridge Hotel is one of those historic hotels with palms, marble, and chintz-covered sofas in the lobby—everything meticulously restored to elegant tourism’s golden age. But it also holds, a spirit, a fleeting presence, some even say it’s the ghost of Colonel Eldridge himself—who refuses to let the time when Lawrence was bloody be forgotten. There were no rules to follow. Survival was everything. And even in his ghostly form, Colonel Eldridge has survived.
