After falling down a rabbit hole, G. Long and Deb discover the history of the Hobo. Don't you dare call them Bums! As the Hobo saying goes: "A hobo travels and is willing to work; a tramp travels, but avoids work if possible; and a bum neither travels nor works." We dive deep to discover the reasons for the rise of the Hobo and what made 250,000 teenagers and twice as many adults hit the rails and create a special subculture of American nomadism. Hop aboard the Long in the Boot train and join us for a discussion of the origin of the American Hobo!
