Relationships can bring out the best and worst in people. On Episode 123 of the podcast, we look at an urban legend about the worst. The oddly placed Pink House of Plum Island, Massachusetts has two stories behind it. One is said urban legend, while the reality is far sadder.
For those that love a winter wonderland this week's Road Trip has exactly what you're looking for and then some. We travel up to Woodstock, New Hampshire, the home of the spectacular Ice Castles. There is much more to see and do in this Northern New Hampshire gem and we'll discuss a lot of them this week.
Boston is a tremendous sports town. Growing up nearby has been a blessing giving the opportunity to witness many championship seasons and elite-level players. This week we go way Back In the Day as I relive my very first year as a sports fan, 1986. What happened in Boston sports? What happened nationally?
It was once a beloved staple of the Holiday season. The Sears Catalog gave generations of people countless memories. However, all was not sunshine and roses. This week's Top 5 will showcase some of the weirdest products ever sold through the Sears Catalog. Live chickens, anyone?
Plus there will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the deadly London Smog of 1952.
