In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod and New England Podcast

Episode 94 is knee-deep in Thanksgiving festivities.
The place where the Pilgrims ultimately settled, Plymouth, Massachusetts, is featured in this episode's Road Trip. It is chock full of history like Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II. There is much more to see though, from lesser-known sites, beautiful beaches, quaint shops, and a fun walkable waterfront area.
Cape Cod has had its share of popular night spots over the last century. Some still bring back fond memories, while others have sadly not received the recognition they deserve. One such forgotten icon is the Panama Club of Hyannis. Considered by many to be the birthplace of Cape Cod jazz this trendsetter thrilled patrons in the 1940s and 50s.
Michael Jackson's Thriller album is unquestionably one of the most important pieces of music in history. Beyond its awards and tens of millions of copies sold this album changed the culture and the landscape of music. We go way Back In the Day to look at what made this album so groundbreaking and why it still stands the test of time forty years after its debut.
There are so many classic Thanksgiving Day dishes from turkey to mashed potatoes, to stuffing. However, this week's Top 5 will not feature any of those. This countdown will share some of the weirdest recipes from decades past. Put these on your holiday table at your own risk.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking at the horrific Jonestown Massacre.
