Have you ever wondered how to cook McDonald's Chicken McNuggets in excruciating detail? I know you have. Well, Episode 127 has the answer. It comes in the form of a wacky McDonald's training video from 1983 complete with classic food item puppets, ominous music, cheesy jokes, and stereotypes galore.
Healthcare and hospitals are a 24-hour business in the 2020s. A century ago it was a far different story. On Cape Cod in the early 20th century it was common for the Hyannis Hospital to close during the winter with people needing to find ways off-Cape for their needs in the off-season. This week we tell the story of how Cape Cod Hospital came to be and the people that made it possible.
Children of the 1980s rejoice. On this week's Top 5 we are going to unearth some forgotten 80s cartoons. Whether you haven't watched them in decades, watched them this morning, or have never heard of them, these are bound to give you a tasty dose of nostalgia.
There will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the dawn of photography and Louis Daguerre unveiling his Daguerreotype process in 1839.
