Episode 67 kicks off with the story behind what some consider to be the most dangerous stretch of road in Massachusetts.  This stretch of Cape Cod's Route 6, between Dennis and Orleans, is ominously referred to as 'Suicide Alley.'  Does it deserve this nickname?
It's a double-dip Road Trip as we venture to the Green Mountain State of Vermont and the neighboring small towns of Jamaica and Townshend.  They are interconnected for me which is why they are here together.  Find out why this week.
Nearly three decades ago cartoons were changed forever with the creation of Beavis and Butthead.  Exploding onto MTV this Mike Judge animated show was controversial and hilarious.  I share a little of what it was like being a teenager when it first came onto the scene.
The Top 5 1980's TV show theme songs are sure to have you swimming in memories, or searching YouTube to see what the big deal was.
There's a new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the very first Grammy Awards.
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.
