Whale of a Tale Aug 24, 2024

Show notes

Saturday mornings for a kid growing up in the 80s, there was nothing like it. Wake up early, pour yourself a bowl of your favorite cereal and settle in for a few hours of… cartoons. Classic cartoons, the ones that the genre was established on and that would eventually lead to what we have today with Pixar and Illumination.

But what cartoons were fictional and which were actually based on real-life individuals; people from history whose stories were so remarkable that they get their own podcast episode? We have one of your favorites to talk about today!

So, pour yourself a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch and a cup of your favorite coffee, settle in on the couch – it’s Saturday morning after all! Another episode of the Missing Chapter Podcast is about to be on!

Little Drummer Boy Aug 17, 2024

Show notes

When President Abraham Lincoln in May 1861 issued the call for volunteers to serve in the Union Army for a three-year term, one of those who tried to answer was Ohio resident John Clem. Not yet 10 years old, Clem’s service was refused by the newly formed 3rd Ohio. Undeterred, Clem later tried to join the 22nd Michigan, where his persistence won over the unit’s officers. They agreed to let him follow the regiment, adopting him as a mascot and unofficial drummer boy. The officers also chipped in to pay his monthly salary of $13 before he finally was allowed to officially enlist in 1863.

The top 5 - it’s been a little while, but it’s back like bell-bottoms and the mullet.

Sprinkled in Controversy Jul 27, 2024

Show notes

It’s summertime and if you’re anything like my family, summer is the time for playgrounds, amusement parks, bike rides, and baseball. In upstate NY, we only get nice weather a few months out of the year and you can always get hard ice cream, but you can’t always have the soft serve. And if you’re getting soft serve, what else can you add to it? My kids always go for…sprinkles.

But who the first one was to jump the sprinkles ship and jump on the jimmies train? Well, that’s a great question. So let’s chat on this Missing Chapter Short!

Remembering Titanic: The Faces Aboard The Ship Jul 20, 2024

Show notes

What is it about the Titanic, Phil, that over 100 years later, people are still enamored with the boat, the passengers, and the story surrounding it? People risk their lives to see it first hand, it’s been glamorized in Hollywood movies, and books are still being written about it. So, what’s left to discuss? What’s left to discover about the “unsinkable ship” and the profound impact it had on history and our imaginations. Find out, as we set sail on another maiden episode, and talk about the souls who boarded the fateful vessel - those who survived and those who perished. Their stories live on today - with us - on the SS Missing Chapter Podcast.

Going Mad Over Censorship featuring Tim Field Jul 13, 2024

Show notes

In the early 1950’s juvenile delinquency was on the rise. Pop icons from rock and roll and Hollywood like Elvis Presley and James Dean seemed to encourage children and teenagers to rebel against their parents. What else was causing this rash of bad behavior across the country? What menace was the real reason behind the increased criminal behavior of teenagers? What was so bad that psychologists conducted research and published books claiming to know what the biggest threat to our society was? A threat so serious, that a senate subcommittee held hearings in the creative center of where this scourge of our society was centered. For three days in the Spring and Summer of 1954 the threat was studied, and analyzed and questioned. The biggest danger to the youth of America was……comic books. Who was able to solve this problem? Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, its… well, it wasn’t Superman who saved the day.

A Pop-ular Accident Jul 06, 2024

Show notes

Oh the portmanteau. We’ve mentioned this a lot in our episodes lately, unintentionally. If you aren’t familiar with what a portmanteau is, let me explain. The word podcast is a portmanteau because it’s a combination of 2 words…ipod and broadcast…podcast. To use a term we used a couple episodes ago, velcro is a portmanteau for velvet and crochet. Make sense? Sure it does! Well, on today’s episode of the Missing Chapter, we talk about a summer treat that kids and adults alike enjoy almost every day in the summer, and like me, maybe never even knew that it was a portmanteau. And now that I rhymed unintentionally, and unintentionally said the word portmanteau a record-breaking 6 times in a few short sentences, let’s put redundancy aside, pour ourselves a hot cup of coffee, or maybe iced at this point in the year, and get into a summer-filled episode of the Missing Chapter.

Beyond The Prize featuring Justice Parker Jun 29, 2024

Show notes

Today we’re going to take a look at the explosive legacy of an individual that we’re all familiar with - or at least familiar with his creations. The enigmatic figure that we are about to explore is an inventor, philanthropist, ruthless industrialist, and also a major representative of peace in the contemporary age.

This man’s most significant invention, dynamite, revolutionized the world at its creation, allowing for efficient construction, quickened the development of transportation systems, and enabled the process of mining in much greater volume; however, it also drastically changed military strategies, showing the World the extensive possibilities for destruction that exist.

Following this invention, his rise to wealth and power was incredible; however, a moral conundrum nagged at our figure as the feeling of responsibility ate away at him until he decided to make the change from merchant of death to an advocate of peace, with the creation of, spoiler alert, the Nobel Peace Prize.

Today’s podcast - we’re going to take a look at Alfred Nobel. We’re going to explore his life, the things that influenced him and the compelling story of how the Nobel Peace Prize came to be - so strap in for this Missing Chapter profile!

Suicide Squeeze Jun 22, 2024

Show notes

The history of baseball is the history of our nation… in amongst the innings of America’s Pastime, you’ll find the story lines that define our country. A timeline of people and events that have carried us through countless decades.

Of all the great names who have ever played the game, there is one that has been almost completely lost to obscurity. A record-holder whose achievements place his name next to the all-time greats of the game – Ruth, Williams, Mantle. And yet, I’d be surprised if you’ve ever even heard of his name, much less know of the mystery that surrounds his demise. On this episode of the Missing Chapter, we “Take you out to the ball game” and then inside the unknown details of one of baseball’s most fascinating, forgotten stories.

So grab yourself some peanuts or crackerjacks and most importantly a freshly brewed cup of coffee and get ready for the first inning of what promises to be a thrilling, who done it, on this… Missing Chapter Podcast.
