    62: SCANDAL ALERT

    Hey family, it’s time for part deux of the Erin and Cj saga. This time around Erin got us beers from Harpers Ferry Brewing. Once again, we bring you the hard hitting topics that are on everyone’s minds; favorite video game franchises, crashing bridal showers and fist fighting Girl Scouts. You don’t wanna miss this one!

    John Brown: The First American to Hang for Treason

    John Brown: The First American to Hang for Treason

    He was arrested in 1859 for his role in the Harpers Ferry raid – an event that set the stage for the American Civil War. He was convicted of treason, as well as for murder, and for instigating insurrection. We’re talking about American abolitionist John Brown, the first person executed for treason in the United States.

    Harpers Ferry: Part 1

    Harpers Ferry: Part 1

    In this episode James and Jerry talk about a very special place in West Virginia.  It is almost like a history lovers' version of Walt Disney World.  Harpers Ferry has it all.  You can enjoy the outdoors by fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, mountain biking, and even rock climbing.  Or, if history is more your thing, then they offer shops that replicate the 19th century, John Brown's Fort and museum, African American history, the famous Storer College, site of second US Armory, and the  Civil War Museum. Part 2, with Park Ranger Leah Taber, will be available on Memorial Day.

These creatures may be lesser known than Mothman, nevertheless, each has its own interesting backstory. You may even be inspired to do some cryptid hunting of your own.

    Episode 39: Running A Marathon; Being A 1980's Patriots Fan; Top 5 1980's Saturday Morning Cartoons; Harpers Ferry WV(9-30-2021)

    Episode 39: Running A Marathon; Being A 1980's Patriots Fan; Top 5 1980's Saturday Morning Cartoons; Harpers Ferry WV(9-30-2021)

    Episode 39 begins with tips and advice for those looking to train for and finish a fall marathon.  When you've run out of water and busted through the Runner's High you know you're marathon training.  There's also stories from the last marathon I ran.
    They've won 6 Super Bowls in the 21st Century.  However growing up in the 1980's being a New England Patriots fan was far different.  We're going way Back In the Day to when the team was mediocre at best, including when their games were routinely blacked out in the home markets.
    Though small in population a Road Trip to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is chock full of history and natural beauty.  With Civil War tie-ins, the Appalachian Trail, and a wonderful scenic overlook it is a little town big on attractions.
    1980's kids rejoice, this week's Top 5 goes back to the best Saturday Morning Cartoons that used to accompany the sugary cereal and lazy mornings on the couch.
    There's a new This Week In History and Time Capsule surrounding the death of young actor James Dean and more!
    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 and YouTube after they've finished.
