Episode 79 kicks off with a look back at the potentially final screening of the Lady of the Dunes documentary that debuted in April.  The film, produced by Frank Durant, has been a popular talking point on the podcast including a long-form interview with Frank in Episode 62.  This segment will look back at the final screening, look forward to the companion book that will be released in the near future, and also give an overview of the Lady of the Dunes murder mystery for those who might be unfamiliar with it.
We go from reality to fiction with a unique and different Road Trip segment.  Rather than looking at a place to go spend a few days, this week's segment looks at fictional New England places.  It includes towns from famous movies and television shows, places you'll immediately recognize, and others you might have never heard of.
It's the dog days of summer and this week's episode celebrates it.  First is a trip way Back In the Day to look at what it was like being a child of the 1980s and the excitement that came when the ice cream truck made its way into the neighborhood.
Summer is celebrated even more with a brand new Top 5 that looks at some of the best summertime songs.  Whether lying on a beach towel, sailing on the ocean, or driving a winding road at sunset, these songs are likely to enhance the good vibes.
There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the murder of an Old West legend, Wild Bill Hickok.
