Episode 28 begins with a return to the Dedication to the Craft series.  This time it is a wild, fun-filled trip Steve and I took to Martha's Vineyard.  It includes alpacas, fearless skunks, Jaws filming locations, and more!
The mood gets darker with the story of cannibalism on Boon Island, Maine.  A shipwreck 300 years ago led to the survivors making some difficult decisions.  What led to this outcome?
We go Back In the Day to some classic music stores of the 1980's.  Do you remember Record TownStrawberries?  There's more than that, back when people actually went in to stores to buy records and tapes.
This week's Top 5 features the best of 1980's advertising mascots.  The only catch is that cereal mascots are not included. They will get their own list.
Also check out the latest This Week In History and Time Capsule!
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 and YouTube after they've finished.
