Episode 55 starts off with the story of the wreck of the schooner Montclair off of Nauset Beach. Destroyed in a storm in 1927 the vessel remains a part of the beach itself, being revealed and hidden repeatedly over the years due to shifting sands. How did it end up there though?
A very special Road Trip takes us to the beautiful Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina. Located on the Outer Banks it features a pair of historic lighthouses and so much more. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was in fact the end game for the epic 2,100-mile jaunt in 2019.
The king of parody music, Weird Al Yankovic has been making fans laugh for over 40 years. Parodying songs from Michael Jackson, to Queen, to Nirvana, and countless more, Weird Al has a timeless appeal that we dive into going way Back In the Day.
Do you remember many of the popular and iconic product mascots of the 1970's? We're going to talk about the Top 5 including Morris the Cat, Woodsy the Owl, and more!
There is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule as well!
Be sure to watch for my livestreams called Without A Map Friday's at 8pm on Instagram which serve as a sort of postgame show for the podcast. Find them on IGTV after they've finished.
