Episode 61 begins with another installment of Restaurant Storytime.  This is perhaps the king of unbelievable stories that happened during my tenure in the restaurant industry.  The key players? A summer night, a dishwasher, and an uninvited intruder in the prep room.  It is all 100% reality.
Things get a little lighter as we go back to the story of Cape Cod's first summer White House.  Long before there was the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port there was Gray Gable in Bourne.  It was home of President Grover Cleveland who had a deep connection to Cape Cod for years.
MAD Magazine was a legend of humor both childish and subversive for over six decades.  It spoofed everything from music and movies to politics and world events.  It could be enjoyed by people from 8-80.  We go Back In the Day to what it was like as a child of the 1980's first discovering this iconic publication.
This week's Top 5 goes back to some favorite childhood cereals.  In the days before sugar was a bad word these were the breakfast(or dinner) options that made growing up amazing.  Are any of them on your list?
There's a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule that focus on the debut of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.
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.
