In My Footsteps: A Gen-X Nostalgia Podcast

Episode 63 starts with a trip down memory lane. For more than four decades The Paddock in Hyannis was home to great food and great music. Whether it was in house singers and musicians, or celebrities filtering in from the neighboring Cape Cod Melody Tent, there was always something going on there.
Our Road Trip segment takes us to the Green Mountain State and Brattleboro, Vermont. Covered bridges, farms, farmers markets, beautiful scenery, and more make us this charming New England town.
We go way Back In the Day and learn the struggles of being a kid in the 1980's and 1990's and needing to use the telephone. Personal smartphones were a long way off. Back then it was typically one phone, mounted to the wall, with little to no privacy.
A brand new Top 5 showcases the movies that remind me of my sisters. We all grew up in the 1980's and 1990's so nostalgia will be high on this list.
There's a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule as well.
Be sure to watch for my livestreams called Without A Map Friday's at 8pm on Instagram which serve as a sort of postgame show for the podcast. Find them on IGTV after they've finished.
