Beau welcomes Joe back to the studio, and the brothers discuss the life and times of Jon Torsteinsson-Rue, also known as John "Snowshoe" Thompson. The man christened the Viking of the Sierra accomplished heroic feats, wowed audiences, and put the needs of others before his own.
Beau welcomes guest host, Agnes Johnson, to the podcast, and they discuss the life and times of Sierra Nevada Phillips. "Vade" combined her entrepreneurial spirit with an incredible work ethic to spark a new era of hospitality on the western shore of Lake Tahoe.
The Johnson brothers discuss the brief yet fabulous time period when Frank Sinatra and friends bought, renovated, and operated the Cal Neva Resort & Casino. Movie stars, crooners, politicians, and mobsters all seemed to find themselves at Frank's alpine getaway, the Lady of the Lake, where anything might happen.
Beau and Joe discuss a cherished and enduring Lake Tahoe legend: Tahoe Tessie. The brothers blend history, myth, and just the right amount of facts and fun in this tale of Tahoe's famous denizen of the deep.
