Episode 88 kicks off the spooky season of October.  It begins with the sad and somber story behind Provincetown's secret smallpox cemetery.  Located in the overgrown woods with no names, only numbers, learn why fourteen people have their final resting places in an area most don't even know exists.
This week's Road Trip takes us to the largest town in New England, area-wise.  No, it's not Boston.  It's actually the town of Pittsburg, New Hampshire.  More than double the land size of the next largest town find out what makes Pittsburg unique, well beyond its enormous size.
Eight years after Nirvana's leader Kurt Cobain ended his own life the band's final fully finished song was released.  You Know You're Right was the last true moment in the spotlight for one of the most influential bands of the last half-century.  Now twenty years to the week after the song's release we go way Back In the Day to look at the story of how it came together, and what it was like for me to hear it for the first time.
The scaries continue with my picks for my Top 5 favorite horror movies of the 1980s.  Some of these might surprise you, some of them might not, but likely all of them will get you into the Halloween feelings.
There's a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule, looking back at the debut of the legendary TV show The Twilight Zone.
