In My Footsteps: A Gen-X Nostalgia Podcast

Episode 24 starts off with a special interview. Mason Pryme is a highly-rated, award-winning chef. He is now plying his trade at the Cleat & Anchor in Dennis Port. He shared why this is his favorite place he has worked thus far and why you should come visit(Hint: Smoked BBQ, a huge craft beer list, live entertainment)
For decades a looming hulk sat out in Cape Cod Bay. Though it is not visible anymore the SS James Longstreet still resides off the coast of Eastham, just underneath the waves. Learn all about Cape Cod's target ship, how it got there, and why the bombings of it stopped.
Most generations have a fairly common line of demarcation. Generation-X, Millenials, Baby Boomers, most know when these generations began and ended. However for Gen-X and Millenials there is a bit of an overlap. What of those born in that time period? You might just be something called a Xennial, and I'll explain what that is.
This Week In History includes the opening of the first drive-in theater and more. There is also a special birthday related Time Capsule as well.

Episode 23 starts with a look back at one of Cape Cod's most iconic restaurants: Mildred's Chowder House. In the shadow of the Barnstable Airport this legend spent decades delivering classic clam chowder to locals and visitors alike. It is still looked back upon fondly more than 20 years after it closed.
This episode's Road Trip is a journey to one of the most beautiful towns in New England. The classic seaside town of Narragansett, Rhode Island has something for everyone. From pristine beaches, spectacular old homes, a lighthouse, and even an eating establishment featured on nationwide television.
We'll go Back In the Day as I relive some sweet, innocent, and definitely embarrassing moments of my first crushes. I stick to the 1980's meaning I was 12 and younger. These stories are laugh out loud funny and shake your head cringe-worthy.
This Week In History features the first Memorial Day, the end of the Ford Model T, and more including a new Time Capsule from a very special birthday!

Episode 25 has a few new and exciting changes!
The debut of the Top 5 includes Cape Cod Icons, the places you have to see and experience if you have never been to the Cape, or even if you have been a thousand times.
Restaurant Storytime Part II goes back to my first year in the industry. A humble dishwasher embroiled in a food fight that ended in a TKO on a fellow coworker.
We go way Back In the Day to the fuel of my teenage years, Jolt Cola. A staple of the youth of the late 80's through 90's Jolt prided itself on having all the sugar and twice the caffeine of traditional sodas. It was for all intents and purposes the first energy drink.
There is a fabulous Road Trip to Groton, Connecticut in the eastern part of the state. It includes a classic example of dedication to the craft photography from a trip I took there in the past.
All of that and a streamlined This Week In History with a new birthday-themed Time Capsule!
