This week we're replaying some of our favorite shows about our favorite games. In this episode from May 2019, we pay tribute to Ralph Baer, who invented home video games from his workshop in Manchester, New Hampshire. The city has honored its gaming pioneer with a "Baer Square," complete with a statue, in a city park. Plus: a place called the Maritime Republic of Eastport in Annapolis holds "the least challenging athletic event ever conceived." It's a race that's one-twentieth of a kilometer long.

World’s Least Challenging Athletic Event Ever (The Travel 100)
