It's Birthday Week on Episode 118 of the podcast!
There's a cause for celebration as I make another trip around the sun. What better way to reminisce than by looking at how a birthday evolves and changes as we age? Oh, and also there will be a makeshift Top 5 as I share some of the best(worst) birthday memories!
From a celebration today, to celebrations in the past, it'll be a fond, if somewhat hazy, look back at wild times on Cape Cod in the 1970s as we check out the story of the brief but spectacular existence of Yarmouth's Sandy Pond Club bar.
This week's Road Trip features one of my absolute favorite places in all of New England, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It will be tough to narrow down all there is to see and do there into a manageable segment, but we will get it done.
As a kid in the 1980s, no birthday celebration was complete without a trip to the drive-thru of your favorite fast-food establishment for dinner. This week's Top 5 is the other side of the coin as we look at the ambitious or downright odd menu items that became legendary fast food fails in the 80s.
There will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the strange but true story of Australia's Great Emu War.
