On this edition of The Last Empty Places on Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler welcome back author and adventurer Peter Stark — the mind behind The Last Empty Places.

This week’s journey takes a chilling turn as Peter explores the grim history and cultural context of cannibalism across America’s forgotten frontiers. From survival stories to moral boundaries tested in isolation, Peter unpacks what these tales reveal about human nature, fear, and endurance.

Known for weaving together history, geography, and storytelling, Peter’s insights help us see these “empty” places not just as landscapes — but as mirrors of who we are.
