Episode 47 kicks of the Holiday season in style.  It begins with the hilarious but true stories from Restaurant Storytime III.  These center around what was to be done with baked potatoes that were left over from the night before.
The newest Road Trip is a journey back in time to Colonial Williamsburg Virginia.  It is the largest living history museum that allows you to totally amerce yourself in the lives of 18th century Colonists.
We go way Back In the Day to the release of Nintendo's Game Boy.  It revolutionized video gaming and was at the top of the list for kids at Christmas when it was released in 1989.  What made it so popular?
It's the time of the year for beloved Christmas season television specials.  This week is the Top 5 list of them.  Which ones made it?  Is there a Grinch?  Or a red-nosed reindeer?
Of course there is a new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller video.
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.
