Don't Let That One Stoplight Fool You!

About Don't Let That One Stoplight Fool You!

30 Fun, Easy, Cambridge-area Stories to Brag About and Impress Your Friends. The Cambridge area has contributed in ways vastly disproportionate to our modest population, and this podcast presents brag-worthy proof. This is a 30-episode podcast; each episode is about 10 minutes; 1 per week for 30 weeks. It's about people and events from our past, people and events that have influenced our community, and in many cases, our country. While most stories are Cambridge-specific (I treat Cambridge, Jackson and White Creek as one place), I also borrow from other close-to-Cambridge communites.

You'll also learn how the many Cambridge-area contributions span eleven different categories, all at remarkable levels. Indeed, the Cambridge area has made contributions to our community, our nation, and our world vastly disproportionate to our modest population. This is the ultimate episode for Cambridge-area bragging.

   They Named a Disease After Him (It’s Okay, it’s a Good Thing)

   The dude was short, real short. A runt. A pipsqueak. Shorty-short-stuff. Diminutive. And he was sickly to boot. Only five-feet three-inches tall with what’s now called Trigeminal Neuralgia. And yet, this guy fully earned the title, “Giant”. His is this season’s final episode, the capstone episode, for a reason. This Cambridge short-guy was as BIG as it gets.

   Hey! That Storyteller is Writing Stories . . . With a Paintbrush!

   Movie kingpins George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg are two of the greatest storytellers of all-time. They tell stories through thousands of frames of film. Star Wars. Jaws. Indiana Jones. But there's one storyteller Lucas and Spielberg look up to as THE greatest because he told great stories in just ONE frame. He was local. So were some of the faces in his famous frames.
