## Resource

New episodes of Who Blew Up the Guidestones? drop Tuesdays. In between, we’re taking small detours—stories that echo the mystery in unexpected ways. In this special episode, we encounter a self-taught preacher who claims a vision from God, and builds a strange, sprawling paradise in rural Georgia. But instead of becoming a conspiracy figure, he becomes one of the most famous folk artists of the 20th century. Welcome to the world of Howard Finster and Paradise Garden.
