City On The Edge Podcast

We talk about the 1970s sci-fi schlockfest Track of the Moonbeast, filmed in Albuquerque and written by Batman co-creator Bill Finger.

We talk with local poet Marie Landau about what it's like to experience Albuquerque as a newcomer, dispel some common myths and consider some reasons that new Albuquerque residents might have trouble adjusting.

This week, we are joined by Genevieve Garcia de Mueller, co-host of the Dead Things podcast. We discuss communes in New Mexico and the strange dark story of a man who believed he was the reincarnation of Ulysses S. Grant.

Mike and Ty talk about the End of the World as seen from Albuquerque. Ty goes to a doomsday preppers trade show and talks to a guy who sells marsupials to ex-soldiers.

We continue our discussion of the murder of journalist Carl Taylor, talk about the rites and history of the Penitentes, and Ty sings a song.

In 1936, a journalist was gunned down in San Antonio, NM, just a few miles from Albuquerque. Who did it? His houseboy? Unknown assailants? Or representatives of the Penitentes, an unofficial Catholic sect the journalist was investigating and that was known for its acts of flesh mortification and violence?

A new podcast delving into the history and identity of a Soutwhestern city—Albuquerque, NM. In this episode, hosts Mike Smith and Ty Bannerman tell some ghost stories including the story of Mrs. M at the Albuquerque Press Club and Bobby Darnall, the boy who is said to haunt the KiMo Theatre.
