Pull Up A Chair Apr 06, 2024

Show notes

Whether you’re from upstate NY like us, a listener from the south, our California friends, or even for some of our international listeners, I would guess that when I mention the Adirondack Chair, that provides a specific style rather than a generalized term. It’s the same instance as if I said the term car vs. a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria - the specifics conjures up a different visual. Well, the Adirondack Chair specifically is known throughout the world as not just a chair, but a specific kind of chair that has relaxation, vacation, and getaway built into its DNA. But where did this style of chair come from? Who invented it? And how was it so brilliantly branded that it attaches an almost visceral feeling at the mere mention of it? Find out more on this Missing Chapter Short!

A Mir Hole in the Ground Mar 30, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever thought about the unintended consequences of our decisions we make every day, good or bad? Stopping to get a coffee on your way to work has an unintended consequence of seeing an entirely different group of people on the highway. Going back in the house because you forgot something has an unintended consequence of you walking into work with a new set of people. Well, what if I told you that there was an unintended consequence that took place following the decision by NATO to sanction the USSR? This decision had quite the impact for the citizens of the former Soviet Union that will have present day consequences. And let me tell you, we are digging deeper into this story today, coffees in hand, and when I say deeper, I mean deeper. I hope you're ready, welcome to the Missing Chapter everyone, let's get started.

New Depths Mar 23, 2024

Show notes

Hello listeners, welcome to the Missing Chapter. If you’re familiar to our podcast at all, you know we just introduced a new segment - the MC profile. On today’s episode of the Missing Chapter, we’re highlighting an individual I’m almost certain you’ve never heard of. A brilliant individual that takes science to a level that boggles the mind. His knowledge depth went so deep that our own present-day military uses his ideas to go even deeper than we could ever imagine - hypothetically and in the most literal sense as well because this gentleman, invented something that will allow our navy to hide in the depths of the ocean floor and navigate the seas undetected. Who was he? And what did he invent? Stick with us and find out. Welcome to the Missing Chapter, everyone, let’s get started!

The Most Wonderful Teacher of New York Mar 16, 2024

Show notes

“I’ll get you my pretty… and your little dog too!” As far as iconic Hollywood quotes and villains go… you would be hard-pressed to come up with two more perfect examples in cinematic history.

Not many people would recognize the name or photograph of actress Margaret Hamilton, but just about everyone knows the famous movie role she played, and the subsequent lines she delivered. Bedecked in green make-up and a black pointed hat, this pleasant face transformed into the Wicked Witch of the West in MGM’s version of 1939 classic - The Wizard of Oz.

Podcast Roulette at the Canjo Job Fair Mar 09, 2024

Show notes

The stereotype with today’s youth is that they always have their heads down on their phones, they’re always playing video games, and they never have anything to say. Well, Phil and I decided to put this label to the test and what better place to do it than Canajoharie high school’s very own job fair. Our student contestants sat down for a little impromptu discussion on everything from their favorite song to where they’ve always wanted to travel to. We’re usually the ones doing the talking, but on today’s very special episode of the Missing Chapter Podcast, we hand the microphone over to our students, and listen to what they have to say.

Red Light Green Light Mar 02, 2024

Show notes

You know how the game goes - Start with everyone along the starting line, when you say 'Green Light' everyone will move towards the finish line, when you say 'Red Light' everyone must immediately stop. If players are still moving when you call 'Red Light', they must go back to the starting line. And if you’re thinking about playing this game in a real life scenario, it probably goes something like this - You’re in a real hurry and hope that every intersection is cleared of traffic and a glowing green light is awaiting for you to pass through unobstructed, and every red light magically and hurriedly changes its tone so you don’t even have to take your foot off the gas while crowds of people await for your royal highness to pass through the intersection. And let’s not even get started about the yellow light - which, in modern day traffic, has changed it’s purpose from being a warning for slowing down to a welcoming for flooring it and speeding up. But here’s the question - why do we use those three colors? Have they always meant the same thing? That’s what we’re here for - to answer the questions you may not have even asked yourself, and to do so in Missing Chapter fashion. Grab your coffees, and let’s add another chapter to the history textbooks.

Fancy To Meet You Feb 24, 2024

Show notes

Hollywood’s depiction of pirates, swashbucklers, and buccaneers is often glamorized and fictionalized to the point, where it’s difficult to differentiate between villain and hero. The history and reality of pirates is often much more obvious, but no less thrilling and entertaining.

Enter into today’s episode, arguably the most successful but least-known, pirate to sail the seven seas. His exploits would net him an estimated tens of millions of dollars in stolen treasure, make him the most-wanted outlaw of the British crown, and inspire countless stories, books, and plays.

And now his exploits will have inspired a podcast… the story behind the pirate whose life not only sounds like a Hollywood script, but actually was. Pour yourself a cup of coffee as we sail the seven seas on this edition of The Missing Chapter Podcast.

Do's & Do-Be-Do-Be Don'ts Feb 17, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to this episode of the Missing Chapter - and the segment we refer to as the Missing Chapter Profile. We’re going to take some time today and highlight someone of great musical stature. He has an immediately recognizable voice, and for any Italian family, his songs are a staple in any household, especially while cooking or baking. And for you Yankee fans, there’s nothing more nostalgic than when this man caps off a good Yankees victory at Yankee Stadium - that’s right, it’s the voice, the sultan of swoon, ol blue eyes, Frank Sinatra. Come fly with me as we share some of Sinatra’s ups and downs, knowns and unknowns, and some surprising, and even shocking, facts about today’s Missing Chapter Profile, Frank Sinatra. Let the little town blues just melt away, and we’ll make a brand new start of it, on this episode of the Missing Chapter.

Sea. I. A. Feb 10, 2024

Show notes

I hope to rekindle what it was like as a kid for some of our listeners here - or maybe for our younger audience, trigger more of a recent memory - the Crane Game. You might not know it by name, but the epiphany of what this game is will happen immediately when I say this - the game with the claw!

But this isn’t an episode about toys, although we’ve done a few of those, this is an episode about a covert, CIA operation to use this crane game concept to reach an object at the bottom of the ocean floor.

What are they looking for? How would they do it? And why do they want it? Pour yourself a cup of coffee and tune in, another chapter is about to be written, on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
