Episode 81 begins with a look back three years to the day Cape Cod was hit with several tornadoes.  Although only minimal in intensity these storms left their mark on the peninsula.  I will tell the story of how the most intense of the three just happened to travel directly over where I worked at the time as well.
This week's Road Trip heads to the popular college city of New Haven, Connecticut.  Home to three colleges there is much to see and do here.  From beaches to museums, and even the place where the hamburger was invented.  Get a crash course in New Haven before you head there yourself.
Old school Public Service Announcements were a fun look at how some kids learned the basics of humanity like love, trust, fair play, and more.  One such series of PSAs were the popular Snipets of the 1970s and early 80s.  We go way Back In the Day to explain more about them for those that might have forgotten, or are too young to have seen them.
The nostalgia runs deep in this week's Top 5.  We look at some of the most iconic OG video game characters.  These were the first characters to be as well known as the games themselves.  Which of these was your favorite?
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule that looks back at the premiere issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.
