Cascade of History

Ep. 79: LIVE from the Centennial Celebration of the Around the World Flight


Listen Later

On this special LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel is joined by co-host Lee Corbin to mark the centennial of the around-the-world flight which concluded at what's now Sand Point/Magnuson Park in Seattle, just a short distance from the SPACE 101.1 FM studios.
Corbin and Banel interview historians and aviation experts - including Knute Berger, historian Mike Lombardi of Boeing, Ted Huetter of the Museum of Flight and US Air Force Brigadier General Frank Goodell - and provide live coverage and color commentary on the centennial festivities organized by the Friends of Magnuson Park. Thank you to special guest Jay of Jay's Radio Hour for spinning 78rpm discs from 1924 to mark the occasion. Special thanks to field producer Shawn Murphy, and to Eric Zappa and Megan Hanna of SPACE 101.1 FM who ran the mixing board back at the station.
NOTE: This live and remote local radio broadcast was not without technical glitches, and audio quality of some of the vintage 78rpm records suffered at times. It's all part of the magic of broadcasting LIVE from a grassy field (including when someone cut the power by tripping on the extension cord). Enjoy!
This LIVE three-hour broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 12:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time on Saturday, September 28, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from the NOAA facility adjacent to Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
