Episode 21 is packed!  It is the week of the launch of my 6th book Iconic Hotels and Motels of Cape Cod through Arcadia Publishing/History Press!  I go over some of what went into the creation of this book, how Covid delayed it, and where to get it!  Also join in the Book Launch Livestream Monday May 24th at 7:30pm on Instagram.
In 1984 a nearly 500-foot freighter named Eldia was pushed ashore at Nauset Beach during a heavy gale.  Relive the story of a maritime disaster that became a huge attraction during Cape Cod's offseason.
A right of passage for many children on Cape Cod in the past was spending a week at the Cape Cod National Seashore in 5th Grade.  I share my memories of my time there way Back In the Day, and a little more about the educational program that allowed such fond memories for so many to happen.
This Week In History contains one of the most infamous Cape Cod murders, and also some lighter stories like the release of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book.  There is also a new Time Capsule.
Also be sure to check out 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 and YouTube after they've finished.
