Podcast Highlights: The Forgotten Pioneer: Discover how Montgomery began gliding through California skies in the 1880s, decades before the Wright brothers' famed flight at Kitty Hawk.

On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with radio historian Liz McLeod about how American radio networks covered D-Day, the Allied landings in France of June 6, 1944. More than 25 years ago, McLeod ranked D-Day as the most significant event in old-time radio history for the many broadcasting firsts, the quality of the coverage, and the technical and organizational innovations that made it all possible. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

On Ron's Amazing Stories! Imagine standing at the mythical "Lake of Wisdom," only to find that even shallow waters can reflect the sky. This episode is a quirky dive into unexpected connections, featuring two stories that seem worlds apart—but are they really? Take on Ron's challenge: Can you figure out the twisted thread tying them together? Story 1: Like Man, Somebody Dig Me Series: Suspense Aired: May 25, 1958 Synopsis: A tale straight from the Beatnik era—cool cats, existential dread, and a man determined to exhaust everyone he meets. It's a wild ride through history's most dramatically unimpressed generation. Story 2: The Outer Limit Series: X Minus One Aired: November 11, 1955 Synopsis: Fasten your seatbelts for a leap into the "future"—1965, that is—where experimental rocket tests set the stage for humanity's triumphs and cautionary tales. Spoiler: Things don't go exactly as planned. Did you spot the connection between these two tales? Was it delusion, inspiration, or something more? Share your thoughts—we'd love to hear from you.
