Feliks Banel's guests on this LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY from the farewell event for Seattle High School Memorial Stadium include Clay Eals and Jean Sherrard of the Seattle Times' Seattle Now & Then; Northwest sports historian and collector David Eskenazi; and music historian Eric Magnuson. The 1947 stadium, deemed unworthy of landmark status, will soon be demolished and a shiny new stadium built in its place. The structure, designed by noted architect George Stoddard, was dedicated in 1947 to the memory of 800+ Seattle Public Schools alums who died in World War II. Apart from bidding farewell to the doomed (not "domed") stadium, discussion also included the recent passing of Bobby Sherman, who played Jeremy Bolt on "Here Come The Brides" - the 1969-1971 TV series set in 1860s Seattle, which also spawned the song, "(The Bluest Skies You've Ever Seen Are In) Seattle." This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 4pm Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, June 26, 2025 via SPACE 101.1 FM and gallantly streaming live via space101fm.org from the rainy and nearly deserted parking lot in front of Seattle High School Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center.

John Lennon once described Yoko Ono as the world's most famous unknown artist. “Everybody knows her name, but no one knows what she does.” She has only been important to history insofar as she impacted Lennon. Throughout her life, Yoko has been a caricature, a curiosity, and, often, a villain—an inscrutable seductress, a manipulating con artist, and a caterwauling fraud. The Lennon/Beatles saga is one of the greatest stories ever told. Still, Yoko's part has been missing—hidden in the Beatles' formidable shadow, further obscured by flagrant misogyny and racism. This definitive biography of Yoko Ono's life will change that. In this book, Yoko Ono takes center stage. This book was nearly a half-century in the making. In 1980, author David Sheff met Yoko and John when Sheff conducted an in-depth interview with them just months before John's murder. In the aftermath of the killing, he and Yoko became close as she rebuilt her life, survived threats and betrayals, and went on to create groundbreaking art and music while campaigning for peace and other causes. Drawing on his experiences and interviews with her, her family, closest friends, collaborators, and many others, Sheff presents Yoko's nine decades—one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived. Yoko is a harrowing, moving, propulsive, and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. The book not only rehabilitates Yoko Ono's reputation but also elevates it to iconic status.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his Friday guests, Jim Moore, Chris Egan from King 5 and The Scout.  Puck and Jim open up the show touching in on the Mariners, the Ballard Beavers baseball team playing in the state semifinals, calling up Cole Young and Jim makes a case to call up Harry Ford as well. Chris Egan drops by and picks up on the train of calling up Young and Ford and says it's time for both to come up to help out a struggling offense.  Charlie, Egans dog makes a surprise visit to the show.  The three have a good chat about a Seattle Times article on former Major League Baseball player Travis Snider, who has started a company to change the culture of youth sports and make it more about fun.  Before Egan departs he shares a new study on the three sports that are best for your physical and mental health…shocker, what is number one. Puck welcomes The Scout, an anonymous MLB scout who has spent the past 30 years covering the sport.  They start off their conversation talking about two high school baseball players that square off Friday in the 3A semifinals, Ballard vs. Mount Vernon.  Xaiver Neyens, who plays for Mount Vernon, will be a top 20 draft pick  and Truitt Madonna plays catcher for Ballard and is committed to UCLA and is expected to go somewhere between the 4-5th round.  The Scout has also spent the past week covering the Tacoma Rainiers and gives his thoughts on Cole Young and Harry Ford and when Mariners fans should expect to see them on the big league club.  The show wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!”  We could all still learn that youth sports and all sports is just about fun! (1:00) Puck and Jim (34:47) Chris Egan (1:03:41) The Scout (1:25:17) “Hey, What the Puck!”

You know who we haven't discussed on this show in a while? The Boeing company. They're the 2nd biggest private employer in this state. It’s good we haven't talked about ’em because when we do, it's usually bad news.The fatal crashes a few years ago, the door panel blowing out last year, the machinist strike. The US Senate held a whistleblower hearing and the title was “Examining Boeing’s Broken Safety Culture: Firsthand Accounts.” - Not a great sign. So how is Boeing doing now? Well, the stock price is up 20% this year, Qatar Airlines is buying 210 new jets, and Boeing might not face criminal charges after all for those fatal crashes - something the victims’ families are angry about. Let’s catch up on Boeing...
