Pat's Peeps Podcast

What if you could walk in the footsteps of heroes and feel the weight of history beneath your feet? Join me for the 97th episode of Pat's Peeps podcast as we mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Broadcasting from the sunny foothills of Northern California, we'll explore the historic beaches of Normandy, from standing on Omaha Beach to delving into the depths of German bunkers. Through my personal reflections and immersive audio clips, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of American soldiers who played a crucial role in the liberation of Europe during World War II. We'll also bring scenes from "Saving Private Ryan" to life, highlighting the harrowing and heroic moments of Operation Overlord.
But the journey doesn't stop there. We'll step back in time to the unique musical world of Dickie Goodman, a pioneer in the novelty genre. Rediscovering his rare 45s from my collection, we'll chuckle at his clever political satires like "Mr. President" and "Energy Crisis '74," which humorously capture the essence of historical events such as the Watergate scandal and the 1970s energy crisis. Through these nostalgic records, we'll explore how Goodman's creative technique influenced the music industry and left a lasting legacy in political commentary. Tune in for a blend of history, music, and a bit of personal nostalgia, offering a unique perspective on pivotal moments from the past.
