In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit a tiny town in West Virginia that takes the idea of “living life to the fullest” to a different level with its embrace of daredevil activities. Like, for instance, a day where people sign up to jump off a bridge.

This Small Town, Big Story episode is produced in partnership with Go USA TV. Learn more about Bridge Day here.

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.
