    The Miami of the Prairies

    Did you know that the prairies originally laid claim to the "Magic City" moniker? Find out how it all went south. This episode takes us on a journey to Factoria/the Magic City: Saskatoon's own overreaching, no-electricity-having, poop-water-swilling, not-long-lasting sister city of yesteryear. Join Stephanie, Sarah, and special guest Kaiti Hannah from the Western Development Museum as we explore this lesser-known detour in our city's development! Originally recorded in April 2021 but still relevant because time is a flat circle. Our theme song is Ona Spava by Zdravko Čolić.  Follow us on Twitter: @whyxepodcast
