Episode 73 of the podcast kicks off with the horrifying true story of the scariest place I have ever visited, Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts.  For a century patients were kept there, through various iterations of the property.  Though it was used for the backdrop of a few movies the reality of this long standing hospital is stranger than fiction.
There are a few places in New England that feel like home to me.  One such place is Mid-Coast Maine.  The town of Camden, Maine is a big part why.  Mountains, lighthouses, harbor views, a classic Main Street, and so much more.  This week's Road Trip should be one that gets you ready to pay Camden a visit.
Today many people have unlimited and easy access to the internet, some through their smartphones.  A quarter-century ago the internet was a vastly different place.  Modems, dial-up, different search engines, primitive websites, and more.  We go way Back In the Day to reminisce with a Part 1 of Internet in the 1990's.
This week's Top 5, by special request, dives into some of the scariest television show themes that scarred your childhood.  Which ones made the list?
There is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the very first Major League Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
