Episode 45: When the Cape Cod Melody Tent Was A Music Circus; U2's Achtung Baby 30 Years Later; Top 5 Disco Era Artists; Historic Jamestowne VA (11-18-2021)
In My Footsteps: A Gen-X Nostalgia Podcast
Episode 45 is musically charged. It begins with the story of the Cape Cod Melody Tent. Before it was the premiere entertainment location on the Cape it was a Music Circus in a grassy field near Hyannis' Main Street. Learn all about how it started.
This week's Road Trip takes us to where the first English settlement in America began. Historic Jamestowne Virginia is a fascinating look back over 400 years and is still sharing its secrets thanks to current archaeological digs happening there.
We go way Back In the Day to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of U2's Achtung Baby. One of the top albums by one of the top bands at their absolute peak. It was released at a pivotal time in my life and I will dive deep into why this album still resonates so deeply with me after 30 years.
The musical themes keep going with a special Top 5 list counting down the biggest Disco Era Artists. Some will be no-brainers, others might be surprising, but they all had a major impact on the fleeting craze known as disco.
There's also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around my mother's birthday which is a lot of fun to share!
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.
