Mark Frost joins me this week to discuss the historical figures and events in “The Secret History of Twin Peaks” and his upcoming novel “The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel”. We discuss his passion for American History and how he implemented Secret Societies, the Corps of Discovery, the Nez Perce, Jack Parsons and UFOs into the Twin Peaks mythos.
