Welcome to The Story Behind: Clue Series. In every episode of this series, we talk about the history of one of the original weapons used in the game, “Clue.” This series may not be appropriate for all ages and listener discretion is advised.
This is the final episode of The Story Behind Clue Series. I hope you’ve all enjoyed talking about the weapons in the classic game, as well as talking about the 1985 movie. In this episode, we’re going back to the very beginning to talk about the game, itself.
I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Clue: The Game.

This is the second-to-last episode of The Story Behind Clue Series. Since we’re out of weapons to talk about, let’s shift our attention to the movie I’ve gotten tons of clips from. And I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has sent in clips for the series -- I had a lot of fun putting these episodes together.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte | History of Pumpkins, Birth of the Latte, Starbucks Seasonal Favorite (TSB086)
Here in New England where I live, the fall is probably the most loved season. The leaves change, it gets a bit cooler, and nothing sounds better than being cozy warm in a cable knit sweater. It all sounds very calm and serene, doesn’t it? But there’s an underlying current to the first few hints at fall.
We know it’s coming, we just don’t know when. That beverage that’s supposed to be reminiscent of comfort food to be enjoyed by a warmth hearth. But then, the craziness takes over.
All of a sudden, people start posting memes of it with young women dressed in leggings and UGG boots holding this seasonal beverage, while real women in leggings and UGG boots are hashtag-self-aware-don’t-care about posting their own photos of them with today’s topic.
I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
