Happy Valentine's Day! Love is in the air on Episode 132 of the podcast.
Helen Keller was an icon of the 20th century and a true testament to the will of the human spirit due to her achievements despite being rendered both bling and deaf at an early age. One of the loves of her life was the many trips that she made to Cape Cod during her childhood through early adulthood. We will look at her connection to The Cape.
I love The Simpsons. At its peak it was arguably the best show ever made, at least in the conversation. For more than three decades it has entertained millions. This week we go way Back In the Day to try to shine a little light on why the show has been successful and of course share some funny memories of the show.
Those celebrating Valentine's Day need their own romantic playlist of music. I will share some of my own picks for you as we look at my Top 5 love songs.
There is of course a new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the first ever news brief sent via the telephone. What does it have to do with love? Who knows.
Also there may or may not be a story told of someone's worst first date, get ready!
