Unleashing an “American Zoo” (Catskill Game Farm - Catskill, NY)
Saison 4 · Épisode 11
jeudi 15 octobre 2026 • Durée 40:19
In 1933, Roland Lindemann opened America’s first privately-owned zoo: the Catskill Game Farm. By 2006, it was completely abandoned, along with its charmed memory, but in 2022, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Tim Travers Hawkins accidentally stumbled upon boxes of 16mm film archives and documents buried beneath layers of rubble on the property, which began to unearth a darker, far more complicated of the Catskill Game Farm than the world ever could’ve known. Until now.
American Zoo is the new documentary from Tim Travers Hawkins, which made its Catskillian debut at the Woodstock Film Festival in 2026. This episode features a truncated interview with Tim and Blake on a weekly radio program on Radio Kingston / WKNY called Cinema Kingston! (which happens to also be co-hosted by Blake).

Conspiracy Theory (Green Mountain Race Track - Pownal, VT)
Saison 4 · Épisode 9
jeudi 20 août 2026 • Durée 34:23
While exploring the ruins of the Green Mountain Race Track in Pownal, Vermont, Blake meets Dina (and her silent husband Mike), self-proclaimed conspiracy theorists who believe the world’s buildings weren’t built by us at all but inherited from a lost Tartarian Empire — what Bloomberg News once dubbed the “QAnon of Architecture.” As Blake tries to follow Dina's train-of-thought, he realizes that, really, there's a small conspiracy theorist living inside each and every one of us.
Dina is recreated by Terri Weagant.

Saison 4 · Épisode 8
jeudi 6 août 2026 • Durée 37:23
Guest host Stev Hull-Allen (Blake's brother in a past life) guides listeners through the abandoned Colonial Terrace, a crumbling catering hall where every room seems to hold onto a different version of the past. As his imagination weaves in and out of oral histories, textbook memories, and invented folklore, Stev explores what abandoned buildings can reveal about timing, healing, and the strange feeling that some friendships don't begin so much as they find their way back to us.

Inside the abandoned Nopeming Sanatorium, Blake talks to his grandmother (Grammie), Lurana — whose dementia carried her away before she passed.

jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 22:05
Blake finds sanctuary on the grounds of the abandoned Taney Motel in Branson, Missouri — a refuge tucked inside a world of risk.

Dylan & Blake on a Friendship, Cemented (A.J. Snyder Cement - Rosendale, NY)
Saison 4 · Épisode 5
jeudi 25 juin 2026 • Durée 27:04
In the ruins of an upstate New York cement factory, Blake and New York Times best-selling author Dylan Thuras wander toward a mysterious “document storage house,” discovering they’re not just exploring a place but each other’s relationship to creativity and the myths we build to live inside it. Among empty boxes, industrial ghosts, and imagined histories, the duo considers what it means to construct something out of nothing, outgrow it, and still carry its faded transmissions — like a friendship — once it becomes memory.

Fading Transmissions from a Gas Station Altar of Shoes (Wonderland Ranch/Mojave Shoe Station - Mojave, CA)
Saison 4 · Épisode 4
jeudi 11 juin 2026 • Durée 18:06
Deep in the Mojave Desert, a defunct gas station has become a roadside altar of shoes, each pair carrying stories and secrets that transform a place for transients into a monument for return pilgrimages. Standing among the relics and artifacts of lives past, Blake considers eulogies, elegies, and effigies — and what it means to be remembered by strangers.
Note: Episodes 1–4 of Season 4 form “Fading Transmissions from a Republic of Ruins,” a four-part series embedded within the season.
