Listen to This American Life's Amusement Park Episode

Are you looking for a podcast to listen to while on a summer road trip?

This American Life re-aired their classic “Amusement Park” episode on July 24, 2020, and you can listen wherever you get your podcasts!

The episode has three stories, with the main story being about former Worlds of Fun games manager, Cole Lindbergh. Cole's story is pretty cool because he went above and beyond to motivate his team of game operators by having contests and making music videos that you can still watch today on the WoF Films YouTube channel.

Other parks mentioned in the podcast include Disneyland and the Wildwood, New Jersey boardwalk.
