Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Jim Holyan, author of “I Was A Middle-Aged Wolfman: Chasing Wolves in Idaho's Backcountry” The book was published in 2025 by Caxton Press in Caldwell, Idaho.

Not long after the Nez Perce Tribe began recovery efforts for gray wolves in Idaho - which had been reintroduced from Canada - wildlife biologist Jim Holyan joined the team responsible for monitoring and tracking the wolves' progress. Along the way, he made lifelong connections and shared stories around many campfires. His new book recounts nearly two decades in the field, as the subtitle says, chasing wolves in Idaho's backcountry.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Tom Tangney, retired former Seattle journalist and broadcaster, longtime local cinephile - and all around gadfly.

The Seattle International Film Festival – or SIFF - announced on October 9, 2025 that they are ending their lease of the Egyptian Theatre on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. The theatre, which was built as a Masonic Temple around 1916, belongs to Seattle Central College. It’s unclear what’s next for the structure, which has not been officially recognized as a historic landmark. Still, it has served as a movie theatre for decades, and was key to growth of Seattle as a center of movie-going, and to the development of the SIFF. Tom Tangney worked at the Egyptian in the 1980s, and has paid attention to Seattle cinemas and cinephiles for decades.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is David Eskenazi, Seattle's preeminent sports collector and historian.

Seattle is battling Detroit in Major League Baseball's American League Division Series. As this episode was being recorded on Thursday, October 9, 2025, the Mariners and the Tigers were on the eve of facing off in the decisive game of the best of five series. Game Five will take place in Seattle on Friday, October 10, 2025, and the winner will earn the right to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series.

David Eskenazi shares the story of pitcher Fred Hutchinson, Seattle's first big baseball star. Hutch played for the Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League in 1938 right out of Franklin High School in the Rainier Valley. After a phenomenal season, he was "sold" to the Detroit Tigers, where he became a Major League Baseball star. Hutchinson is also the namesake of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Jeremy Dimick, Director of Collections and Curatorial for the Detroit Historical Society and Museum.

Seattle is battling Detroit in Major League Baseball's American League Division Series. As this episode was being recorded on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Mariners and the Tigers were about to face off in Detroit in Game Four of the best of five series. A win for Seattle, and they move on to the American League Championship Series; a win for Detroit, and Game Five will take place in Seattle on Friday, October 10, 2025.

With this baseball battle underway, Mr. Dimick shares his vast knowledge of Detroit's incredible sports history, and puts up with our goofy questions about sports connections between the two cities, including hydroplane racing in the 1950s, and the Seattle Seahawks losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Superbowl - held in Detroit - in 2006.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present some recent vintage audio – a piece Feliks Banel produced for a Seattle radio station in October 2022 about the Seattle Mariners and their predecessors – the one-season-and-done Seattle Pilots of 1969 - as well as the backstory of the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Pilots left Seattle and became the Brewers in 1970. Ever since the Brewers moved into the National League in the late 1990s, some people in Seattle have wished for the Mariners to face the Brewers in the World Series. It would be Seattle baseball now against Seattle baseball then. The living versus the ghosts. Slade Gorton . . . versus Bud Selig.

As of this moment – on Tuesday, October 7, 2025 – both the Mariners and the ghosts of the Seattle Pilots (aka the Milwaukee Brewers) – are still alive in the playoffs, and the match-up remains more possible than it has ever been before.
