In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we learn why, the next time you go on a road trip, you should keep your eyes peeled for a peanut-shaped car that got its start during the Great Depression.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
