Episode 115 takes a trip to possibly the perfect place in America to visit for the Halloween season: Salem, Massachusetts. This week's Road Trip is filled with witches, spooky cemeteries, possible haunted houses, and so much more. If you enjoy this time of year Salem is for you!
We go way Back In the Day and reminisce about the good and bad about staying home sick from school in the 1980s and 1990s. Sure there was no internet, no cell phones, no streaming, but there was an endless supply of game shows, sappy daytime television, and if all else was lost, a stack of VHS tapes.
The spooky season is continued as we revisit the sad and somber secret smallpox cemetery of Provincetown. In a laugh-out-loud moment, only after I finished recording and editing this episode did I discover I had previously spoken about this topic. Though still a fascinating subject it is in fact the first rerun on the podcast.
The Top 5 sees us wrap up the weird laws of the New England states as we look at the weirdly specific yet totally random laws brought forth by my home state, Massachusetts.
Of course, there will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule focusing on the on-screen debut of comedy legends Laurel and Hardy.
