Episode 77 kicks off with some true crime. Clarence Parker was a loving husband, doting father, and respected member of the Falmouth, Massachusetts community. So why was he killed in cold-blood on his front lawn, and why has the case never been solved?
It is the smallest state capital in America, population-wise.  However Montpelier, Vermont is also one of the most beautiful and unique. Located near the Canadian border, among the Green Mountains, this little capital city has so much to offer all year-round.  Learn more about it in this week's Road Trip.
Few things bring back pleasant childhood memories than a big bowl of heavily sweetened breakfast cereal.  Combine that with some classic Saturday Morning Cartoons and most children of the 70's and 80's are in heaven.  Do you remember the time when sugar was removed from many cereals?  No, not the sugar itself, but the word 'sugar.'  We go way Back In the Day to look at the time in the early 1980's when sugar was a dirty word and was removed from many popular breakfast cereals' names.
Laughter is the best medicine.  This week's Top 5 is going to give a heaping helping of it.  We look at some of the funniest current stand-up comedians and I give some examples of their bits you should check out if you've never heard of them.
There will be a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule which revolves around the very first show performed by the Rolling Stones.
