Episode 1: Deacon John Doane, Stockbridge, MA, and the NES(11-05-2020)

Send us Fan MailThe debut episode of the In My Footsteps podcast gives an introduction to who I am and where I come from.  It begins with my experiences as a writer and lover of travel and history.  Deacon John Doane, my 9th-great grandfather was one of the settlers of the town of Eastham on Cape Cod.  His story and legacy are a big reason why I love history.  For lovers of road trips, one cannot do much better than visiting the little town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts in the Berkshires.  From its classic Main Street, Norman Rockwell Museum, and more it's a great day trip.The original Nintendo Entertainment System almost single-handedly saved the video game business in America with its debut in 1985.  Though it may pale in comparison to today's graphics and game play the NES was a game changer.All of this and more in the debut episode of the In My Footsteps Podcast!Come take a walk!Support the show
