Connecticut Show

It is the quadranscentennial episode of the Connecticut Show and we're going back to basics. Ever wonder how the Connecticut Show got its beginning? So did we actually. We do our best to piece together the truth of our origin story and all the while, Terrence has a set of drumsticks. 

In this, our 24th episode, we have a few retractions, apologies and social situations to explore before discussing what a ren faire is and how to get there. Also, Terrence strikes a nerve by voluntarily promoting New England beaches. 

Terrence and Travis recently visited the Hartford Yardgoats, Connecticut's MiLB team and they've a few stories to tell. Learn more about the team, several Connecticut places to see, and how to noun a verb as a parent. 

On this week's episode, Travis goes deep into the Maine wilderness to find Guardians of the Seeds by Thomas Dambo, or as many people know them, the Trolls of the Maine Botanical Gardens. Also, wondering what the best school district is for your kindergartners? We can't afford it but we're happy to tell you about the best districts and universities of New England on this, our 22nd episode.   

On this, our 21st episode, Terrence and Travis wish all a happy Father's Day before trying to figure out the religion that is Dunkin Donuts. Terrence is also not too keen on Travis' dad's name, and will there ever be an HBCU in New England? We get it all sorted out by the end. 

Terrence does the intro to this, the technically 25th episode, before Travis and Terrence take a few minutes to reflect on where they've been and what's next for the Connecticut Show. We chat summer plans, and Fisher Cats in our kind of silver episode. Also, check out the blog for coming video and archive material from times past. 

In this, our nineteenth episode, we are talking about the rich and poor of New England. Travis spent some time in Old Greenwhich and Terrence grabbed a bite in West Hartford -- WEHA for the rodeoers. Also, it's harder to get a D in South Carolina. 

Travis and Terrence test their New England knowledge against some high quality internet quizzes. Also, Travis checks out opening day at Fenway Park and Terrence has a few words on the way UConn students celebrate a victory. 

We're finally talking Gilmore Girls. Actually, we know nothing about Gilmore Girls, but we're finally discussing the towns that inspired the popular show. Also, Terrence knows a whole lot about UConn basketball on this, our 17th episode of the Connecticut show. 

On this episode, we catch up with native Connecticutian Mark McDonald who shares his thoughts on the highs and lows of New England.

So much to discuss on this, our 15th episode! Travis finally goes to Vermont to meet that popcorn vendor who may or may not actually be there. We discuss a New York mile, Terrance's questionable genealogy and something find some keys on a snow-covered hilltop. 

Admittedly, a little sleepy -- this episode. Maybe make some tea or other beverage of choice and enjoy the coming spring weather as we chat the Issabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Boston's' Museum of Science. Also, a few big promises for next week and our first Connecticut Show giveaway. 

Velda Abney joins Terrence and Travis in studio to discuss her travels from Sain Lucia to New England. Along the way she coins "UConn, Boo" which is a slogan we love but can never adopt. Also, we chat Upstate New York and get Velda's recommendations on where you should visit next time you're in the North East. 

Back in studio for another season, we catch you up on how we said goodbye to 2022 and what we look forward to in 2023 -- kind of. Terrence has a bone to pick with Connecticut school holidays and Travis forgot his wallet. Welcome back to the Connecticut Show. 

What starts off as a casual conversation about the great state of Massachusetts ends with a diversion into nicknames and state mottos. But also, we touch on Cambridge, Concord, Martha's Vineyard, the Cape, New Bedford, Northampton and more on this our eleventh episode of The Connecticut Show. 

Think you know how each state in New England leans politically? We're discussing what it's like to live in New England when it comes to politics and what each state looks like by way of political leanings. This is our red state blue state episode. 

It's Halloween in New England and Terrence and Travis celebrate with family ghost stories and tales from some of the area's most haunted historical places to visit. Travis learns the definition of haint, and Terrence learns what not to do when the devil follows you home. 

What do New Englanders actually do in autumn? We're not entirely sure, but we know what we do now that we live in New England, and we do some fact checking along the way to keep us honest. Join us for this, our eighth episode of the Connecticut Show where we discuss apple picking, fall foods, and the real location of Sleepy Hollow. 

We're back in studio for this, our seventh episode. Terrence and Travis discuss what happens to fall leaves when you don't rake them and our first impressions of the tiny and packed Rhode Island. 

First off, we are soo sorry about the sound quality on this one episode and for not going out on-air. That said, join us for our take on the Big E, our take on fried butter, state buildings, and whether you should attend the big show if you're in town next year.

Do the people of Connecticut have an accent? That's just one of the questions our listeners asked about in our first ever listener feedback episode.  On this week's episode, we discuss grinders, coffee milk, and where to get the best pizza in the US.

Ever wonder what driving in New England is like? We give our first impressions in this archive episode of traffic, "massholes," tolls, and yes, sidewalks come up again. 

Including our first impressions of places like Salem, MA and Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, Terrence and Travis talk about those first places they wanted to visit when they moved to New England. 

We're talking New England misconceptions in this week's Connecticut Show. Hartford is not that quiet New England town you may imagine and sidewalks are overrated. 

Our first episode from WHUS 91.7 here in Connecticut and some parts of Mass, Terrance and Travis discuss a bit about living in the quiet corner of New England.
