Episode 104: My Infamous Radio Program; Beanie Babies 30th Birthday; Top 5 Creature Feature B-Movies; Madawaska, ME(7-19-2023)

Episode 104 is a return to the full-length format. It begins with a story that needed to be told.
For a time, a very brief time, I was part of a show on a college radio station. That was ten years ago. What was the show about? Who was a part of it? Why did it only last a short time? All of that will be revealed in hilarious detail.
Wanna get away? Well this week's Road Trip will take you to the furthest reaches of New England. We will escape the crowds and visit the beautiful small town of Madawaska, Maine located right on the Canadian border. It is not the middle of nowhere, but you do have to go through the middle of nowhere to get there. 
Investments involve risk. Some investments like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others look like can't miss with hindsight. Beanie Babies were thought to be a similar investment opportunity. Cute, plush, affordable, and collectible. Beanie Babies were the first internet sensation. Incredibly it was 30 years ago when the pellet-filled stuffed animals first debuted. We go way Back In the Day to look at the Beanie fad and whether any of them actually ended up being valuable.
This week's Top 5 is near and dear to my 80s Child's heart. We will look at some of the greatest Creature Feature B-Movies. Legendary monsters, iconic special effects, maybe not completely, but these films have a special place in my heart and likely many people my age.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the grand opening of Disneyland.
