In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 236: Legend of Zelda Turns 40, Help To Prevent 'Shrink' at A&P, Weird Old Baseball Parks(3-18-2026)

 


Order a copy of my acting debut film, Cape Cod Cthulhu!

40 years of Zelda. Preventing 'shrink' at A&P. The weirdest old baseball parks.

Spring arrives with Episode 236 of the podcast. Things may not be blooming yet, but the nostalgia is always in season. 

40 years ago, an icon of video games made its debut for Nintendo. We look back at the release of the original Legend of Zelda. It was more than a game; it was a game-changer. Link, Hyrule, the Triforce, and some classic 8-bit music are on the table as we chat about one of the greatest games ever made.

Think to prevent shrink. This is the motto of a hilariously stereotypical employee training video put together by A&P Supermarkets in 1992. Our host leads us through all of the pitfalls of working in a grocery store, like broken eggs, weirdos in the back room, customers commandeering pricing guns, and smoking where you shouldn't. 

In honor of the new MLB season getting ready to start this week's Top 5 looks at the weird and unique old parks of the past. Giant walls, mosquitoes, moveable fences, and more await.

There is a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule looking back at the very first professional baseball team.
