So many American's like their history manufactured and packaged to suit their world view. They prefer the history they injest to be highly palatable and easily digested, an entree meant to reassure themselves of their own exceptionalism. However, history is as complicated as humanity itself, why would it be anything else? History is, afterall, the study of our ansestors and thus, in a fashion, of ourselves. If history doesn't confront our miscoceptions with stark realities and lessons from the past, what good is it? Historians and authors London Talbot and Mark Iverson run towards these subjects! They enjoy diving in the mess that is American history. Highway to History is the recorded record of their attemot to have interesting and challenging conversations about America's past, present and future. Step on in our 1978 GMC Kingsley motorhome and listen up!

37: A Conversation with Idaho's Own Naked Neighbor - Innovative Artist, Advocate and Warrior Woman!
I met the Naked Neighbor through my friend Chelsea Major, the owner and operator of the Lit Room Book Lounge in Garden City, Idaho. The Naked neighbor, her name is Megan, is a fierce spirit who has had to fight for her identity all her life. I respect her and have already benefited by getting to know her. In this great conversation, we discuss the hurdles that stood and still stand in her way and how these expectations born of American style patriarchy still act as a barrier to equal rights for women in Idaho and America to this day. We also talk about the positive aspects of growing up an Idaho native, and how her family has supported her in becoming the bold artist and advocate for women's rights she is today. I came away from our conversation better for having had it and more invested in aiding the women in my life and beyond in attaining the rights they justly deserve as citizens of these United States.
