Welcome to the third Hidden Track Podcast!

The third podcast is a deep dive into something we older generations saw plenty of and never thought would become relics of the past: the telephone booth. From two million booths in 1999 in the United States to fewer than 100,000 today, the telephone booth is a piece of Americana that is quickly fading away. On this new podcast, we look at the history of the phone booth and why these simple pieces of architecture evoke such a strong feeling of nostalgia in those 40 and older.

These are short-form shows, clocking in at roughly 10-15 minutes. They will cover a topic or two, likely previously covered on the In My Footsteps Podcast. These are subjects that were part of Top 5's or other list-form segments and deserve a more in-depth look.

Enjoy this little podcast snack, and also cast your mind back to the last time you used a telephone booth. If you are curious where the nearest phone booth is to you, check out Payphone-Project.com
