Welcome back to the Maine Book of Secrets.
On this week’s show, we start with two major headlines: the passing of Dolly Parton, a cultural icon whose influence reached generations, and the ongoing discussion around the proposed data center project here in Maine. We break down what each story means for the region and why they’ve sparked so much conversation. We also take a look at the coal roads of Bangor — their history, their role in shaping the city, and why they continue to matter today.
Then we turn to listener stories. Chris Julian shares an encounter turned in by a local tribal member that left him questioning what he saw, and Autumn returns with Eva’s story about a piece of land that seems to carry more than its fair share of magic.
