Our Americana

A high desert ghost town is revitalized as an unincorporated, off-the-grid artists' community. In this ungoverned, un-policed town of 219, law enforcement consists of a self-appointed, five-person Intervention and Safety Team. This town and its governing by volunteerism will change the way you think about law enforcement, guns, ethics, and their impact on community.This week's guests:Connie Mayhew: Connie owns and operates Madrid's one and only roadside attraction, a donation-based photo park. Mike T: Mike is the self-appointed head of a volunteer security team, in a town with no police.Our Americana is produced & hosted by Josh Hallmark.
