Description

Welcome to the first in-between episode that I think I will call 'Chit Chat' where I can chat about things that don't necessarily relate to a specific theme park history. In this episode, I discuss the history of theme park souvenirs: where did they start? I also open up about my theme park merchandise obsession (I believe it is now a personality trait oops).
