Episode 111: Finding My Great-Grandfather's Biological Family; First Favorite TV Shows; Weird Connecticut Laws; Road Trip - Machias, ME(9-6-2023)
Episode 111 sheds some light on a very important discovery that happened during the podcast's hiatus earlier in 2023. I am the resident family historian. For years I had been searching for the biological family of my great-grandfather as my Nina revealed that he had been adopted. It was a long and often fruitless search but in March a breakthrough occurred. This week I will go into detail on how I found my Grampa Romano's biological family.
An oasis in Down East Maine. This week's Road Trip takes us to a spot I found on my way to somewhere else and that became a destination for me after that. We will travel this week to the beautiful small town of Machias, Maine.
Everyone has their own picks for their favorite television shows. But do you remember your first favorites? In the days of streaming and instant gratification, it is hard to remember the times when you had to be in your living room at a certain time to see a favorite show. This week we go way Back In the Day as I reveal some of my very first favorite TV shows.
More weird laws abound in this week's Top 5. After rolling through Rhode Island and Maine it is time to see what crazy and hilarious laws are on the books in the state of Connecticut.
As always there is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back to when Labor Day was made a national holiday.
