Cascade of HistoryCASCADE OF HISTORY listeners care about local his Author: Feliks Banel
CASCADE OF HISTORY listeners care about local history, about our neighbors, and about the future of our communities. It's 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 connect and unite us. 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. Founding producer and host Feliks Banel is a corporate historian; Emmy-winning and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning broadcaster; and former deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI).
