We followed Bebe Neuwirth to Star Trek: The Next Generation "First Contact" (S4:E15) and we wrangled "trekspert" Brooks Peck onto the show! In this episode, we are asked to join the federation of Trekkies and we decline. (not really, they didn't want us)

Feliks Banel’s guests on this live broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY are Jake Rehm and Bill Youngs of Eastern Washington University on this past May's Mullan Road Conference and Mullan Road history; and Richard Blumenthal, author of the new book "Maritime Names of Washington"; plus, a live bootleg from Saturday's performance by The Sonics at MoPoP; and the first installment in our listen back to Stan Freberg's "Oregon, Oregon!" centennial musical from 1959.

This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday, September 8, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Ep. 76: Mullan Road, The Sonics at MoPoP, and Maritime Place Names

CASCADE OF HISTORY is the only LIVE radio show presenting news and stories about people doing cool things with and for history in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. We talk about people, artifacts, books, maps, photos, places, landmarks, public lands, state and national parks, trails, highways, and the historic events that can bring us all together.

The show is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time on SPACE 101.1 FM (and streaming via http://www.space101fm.org ) from studios located on the shores of Lake Washington in historic Magnuson Park in Seattle, former site of Sand Point Naval Air Station (though sometimes CASCADE OF HISTORY originates from remote locations around the region). The podcast feed consists of the weekly broadcast, plus frequent bonus episodes with timely and topical interviews, vintage local audio or other Pacific Northwest history-related content - and sometimes even BREAKING NEWS.

Producer and host Feliks Banel is an Emmy-winning and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning broadcaster, and former deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI).
