Curiosityness

Hello everybody, this is just a quick update on the Curiosityness podcast and where I've been.

The CliffNotes version is that I'm still here but also spending a lot of time making content for YouTube.

Thanks for listening and sticking with me!

If you remember the orange-roofed, twenty-eight flavored Howard Johnson's empire that stretched along roadways from coast to coast, you're gonna love this nostalgic and historical episode!

If the name Howard Johnson's is only vaguely familiar to you (like it was to me), you're also gonna love this episode!

In this episode, I'm joined by Boston historian and author of the book, A History of Howard Johnson's, Anthony M. Sammarco.

Tune in to learn...

-Who Howard Johnson was,

-Why he is called the "Father of the Franchise Industry",

-What made Howard Johnson's restaurants so unique and successful,

-How Howard's son spearheaded the extinction of this once thriving restaurant chain,

-& so much more!

My talk with Peter Hunt was both very exciting and enlightening. Peter has had some incredible life experiences and shares how he dove the Andrea Doria, flew A-6 Intruders for the Navy, and about his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease which ended his career as a commercial pilot.

Peter shares the lessons and growth these experiences have provided for him to help us all embrace our own personal challenges. We all have struggles. Hold yours close, learning, living, and loving with this integral part of you.

In this episode I’m joined by my buddy Scott and we discuss the book, When Hitler Took Cocaine and Lenin Lost His Brain: History's Unknown Chapters by Giles Milton.

This book is a fun exploration of some weird and unbelievable historical events.

We talk about the cook aboard the Titanic, who pickled himself with whiskey and survived in the icy seas where most everyone else died. And we discuss the man who survived the atomic bomb in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Plus much more!

Join Scott and I in this fun talk and review about the book!

This episode is a bit of an experiment trying something different. On my Instagram last month, I announced that I’d be trying out a Curiosityness book club. Just something fun where I can hang with my friends on the podcast in an even more relaxed atmosphere. So here’s the first episode, let me know what you think and if we should do it again ([email protected]).
