On this special holiday encore broadcast from December 2023, Feliks Banel pits Everett, WA-born Stan Boreson against Tacoma, WA-born Yogi Yorgesson in a holiday smackdown of Scandinavian novelty Christmas songs; roving correspondent Ken Zick reports LIVE FROM THE SCENE of the abrupt closure of XXX Root Beer in Issaquah (before we knew Burgermaster would ultimately lease the space); and we hear the first installment in the 1951 vintage “Blackie of Naches Valley” episode of the Seattle centennial educational radio program “Their Name Was Courage.”

This encore broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was presented at 8pm Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, November 17, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
