In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod and New England Podcast

Products that were here and gone in a flash. A serious 70s educational short film with some underlying humor. One of the most infamous unsolved crimes of the 20th century. Some of the best long songs.
Episode 137 has nostalgia in bloom as the calendar turns to spring.
It begins with a look at some products that were here and gone so fast that they barely had time to leave a mark. In the initial Blink and You'll Miss It segment we look at six food-related products that came in with a bang and left in a flash, or just left in a flash. Do you remember any of these?
Bomb threats are serious and can be dangerous and life-threatening. This week we go way Back In the Day and review an educational short film from 1971 titled Bomb Threat! Plan, Don't Panic. It dials the seriousness up to 11 while also somehow mixing in dated looks and humor, albeit unintentionally.
The Top 5 this week looks at some of the best long songs. These all clock in at over six minutes in length. Are any of these on your Spotify playlists?
There will also be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th century, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum robbery in Boston.
