The second In My Footsteps Podcast shares one of my favorite Cape Cod history stories. It is that of Cape Cod's Atlantis known as Billingsgate Island. Once a thriving island community off of Wellfleet today Billingsgate is all but a memory, only appearing at low tides as a sandbar.
Newport, Rhode Island is one of the crown jewels of New England. From its beaches and shops, to historical sites specifically its Cliff Walk and mansions, there is so much to see and do in Newport.
Long before the days of streaming and mp3's, even before the days of recordable compact discs, there were mixtapes. They were a way to express yourself through music and a way to share your love of music with others by making custom mixes for friends. I'll share some of my memories of what it was like crafting a rad mixtape.
Also this episode will see the debut of This Week In History. It features 4 stories, local, national, world, and pop culture stories sure to pique your interest!
All of this and more in Episode 2! Come and take a walk.
