Episode 8: Cape Cod's TV Channel 58; Lincoln, NH; 1991 Year In Music; This Week In History (1-28-2021)

Send us Fan MailEpisode 8 of the podcast shines a light on Cape Cod's own television station.  Back in the 1980's WCVX TV-58 carved out its own niche with local programming and rerunning national shows.  Though it only lasted a handful of years it is still remembered fondly by many 3 decades after it went dark.Central New Hampshire is a perfect place for a Road Trip. This episode we take a look at the spectacular little town of Lincoln.  It is home to Flume Gorge, Franconia Notch, the Kancamagus Highway, and was even the setting for one of the earliest suspected UFO abductions.The year 1991 is where we go Back In the Day to run through some of the music that makes this the best year for music in my lifetime in my opinion.  With the Grunge scene bursting through bringing the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and the Smashing Pumpkins to the mainstream that would be enough.  However add to that seminal albums from Metallica, U2, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and more and it will be easy to see why I think so highly of 1991 in music.This Week In History begins with the sinking of the RMS Republic off the coast of Nantucket and its purported highly valuable treasure.  Tragedy struck with the shocking explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986.  Assassin Charles Guiteau is sentenced to death for the murder of President James Garfield in 1882.  Finally The Beatles close the 1960's with their iconic rooftop performance in London.All of this and more is here in Episode 8, so come on and take a walk!Check out Episode 7 here. Support the show
