Description

CASCADE OF HISTORY is the only LIVE radio show presenting news and stories about people doing cool things with and for history in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. We talk about people, artifacts, books, maps, photos, places, landmarks, public lands, state and national parks, trails, highways, and the historic events that can bring us all together. The show is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time on SPACE 101.1 FM (and streaming via http://www.space101fm.org ) from studios located on the shores of Lake Washington in historic Magnuson Park in Seattle, former site of Sand Point Naval Air Station (though sometimes CASCADE OF HISTORY originates from remote locations around the region). The podcast feed consists of the weekly broadcast, plus frequent bonus episodes with timely and topical interviews, vintage local audio or other Pacific Northwest history-related content - and sometimes even BREAKING NEWS. Producer and host Feliks Banel is an Emmy-winning and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning broadcaster, and former deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI).

BONUS EPISODE: Mystery Vessel Discovered in Pend Oreille River
2026/10/24
On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with explorer/diver Chris McNaughton about the recent discovery of a mystery vessel beneath the waters of the Pend Oreille River in northeast Washington state. A few days ago, a man named Troy Moody discovered the wreck of a vessel in the Pend Oreille River near Usk, Washington. Mr. Moody called the Pend Oreille County Historical Society, and they reached out to Chris McNaughton. In this conversation, recorded early Saturday morning, October 24, 2026, McNaughton describes what happened next, as he went in search of the wreck to take photos and video of what is now believed to be a “river pig boat,” perhaps dating back more than a century.

BONUS EPISODE: Airliner Ditches in the Gulf of Alaska on October 22, 1962
2026/10/20
On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present complete audio from Episode Five of "Unsolved Histories: What Happened to Flight 293?," an Edward R. Murrow Award-winning podcast researched, produced and hosted by Feliks Banel in 2024 for KSL Podcasts. The focus is Northwest Airlines Flight 293, a military charter carrying 102 active duty service members, family members and civilian passengers and crew from McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma, Washington to Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage, Alaska. On October 22, 1962, the DC-7C airliner ran into engine problems, and the pilot successfully ditched in the waters off Biorka Island, Alaska. For this episode, Feliks Banel spoke with passenger Richard Pouliot, who recounts his experiences aboard the doomed plane and the rescue that followed the ditching; Mr. Pouliot passed away in 2024 at age 90. This Flight 293 is not to be confused with the nearly identical Flight 293 of June 3, 1963 which crashed into the Gulf of Alaska with no distress call, and no survivors (that other flight is explored in the rest of the UNSOLVED HISTORIES podcast). This BONUS EPISODE is presented by special arrangement with KSL Podcasts.

HAUNTED-BY-RADIO BONUS EPISODE: "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" LIVE Radio Play from October 2011
2026/10/19
On this HAUNTED-BY-RADIO BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present archival audio from the October 2011 LIVE broadcast from Seattle of an adaptation of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." This version is set in pre-war 1941 Seattle and the Skagit County town of Concrete, Washington. The protagonist, played brilliantly by Jim Dever, is soft-boiled, runny-yolked private detective - and washed up former high school English teacher - Irving Washington. See what we did there? This adaptation was produced, written and directed by CASCADE OF HISTORY host Feliks Banel. It was performed live at Town Hall Seattle before a live audience, and was broadcast live on a local radio station. It was part of a nationwide radio drama project to produce unique "Sleepy Hollow" versions in all four time zones across the continental United States. The cast includes many well-known broadcasters and performers, including Ralph "Jet Guy" Bevins, Lee Callahan, Chris Cashman, Pat Cashman, Tracey Conway, Jim Dever, John Maynard, and Dolores Rogers. Music was composed and performed by Rob Jones; live sound effects were designed and performed by Curtis Takahashi.

On this HAUNTED-BY-RADIO BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present archival audio from the October 27, 2013 LIVE broadcast from Seattle of the original Halloween radio play "Sports Talk Panic." "Sports Talk Panic" was produced, written and directed by CASCADE OF HISTORY host Feliks Banel. Pat Cashman and John Maynard star in this tribute to the "War of the Worlds" panic broadcast of 1938. In "Sports Talk Radio Panic," Cashman plays Vince O'Neill, beleaguered host of "Seattle Sports Sunday Night" on AM 1090 The Fan, and Maynard is the hopelessly anachronistic radio newsman Bryan Lewis.

On this BONUS "FERRY-SYSTEM BLUES" EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel presents vintage audio from KIRO Radio in Seattle from November 20, 2024. In recognition of the labor issues paralyzing Washington State Ferries today, we dig into the audio archives for this live broadcast by Feliks for KIRO Radio from Colman Dock in downtown Seattle on the post-stormy morning of November 20, 2024. We hear the voice of Dave Ross – introducing the segment and also harmonizing once the live music begins. The live music is from Jon Pontrello on guitar, singing “Roll On, Kalakala.” Also there alongside Elliott Bay that morning was field producer Ken Zick and retired Seattle Times reporter Jack Broom.

2026/10/05

We also played a highlight from REM’s October 3, 1986 concert at Portland’s Civic Auditorium, when Michael Stipe read from a brochure about the old Trojan nuclear plant (audio recorded and shared by Chris Metzler).

BONUS EPISODE: "This NOT Just In" Archival Revival Part Four
2026/10/03
On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel digs for a fourth time into the “This NOT Just In” archives for three installments from the occasional history series that aired from 2010 to 2016 on KUOW Public Radio 94.9 FM in Seattle. The premise of “This NOT Just In” was to use archival audio to shed light on forgotten or not fully understood stories from Pacific Northwest history. In this fourth "This NOT Just In" Archival Revival, we remember the distinctive Northwest reaction to the “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast of October 1938; local connections to the Good Friday Alaska Earthquake of March 1964; and the deadly Hanukkah Eve Storm of December 2006. This material was originally produced by Feliks Banel with editing and other assistance from KUOW’s Jim Gates. “This NOT Just In” was initially awarded a Program Venture Fund grant from KUOW in 2009 which funded production of the first three episodes; KUOW ultimately green-lighted more than 30 additional episodes during the run of the series. The episodes remained online for many years, but most are no longer accessible via the KUOW website – so it seemed like a good time to share them once again as a public service.

BONUS EPISODE: Will Seattle Be Forever Haunted by the '95 Mariners?
2026/09/24
On this BONUS "LATE 2026 SEASON MARINERS BLUES" EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel presents vintage audio from KIRO Radio in Seattle from July 20, 2022. During the broadcast heard on this recording, we hear Feliks attempt to prove to Dave Ross and Colleen O'Brien that no matter what might happen to the Mariners in that magical 2022 season (when, at the All Star Break, they were on a 14-game winning streak), it would NOT be as exciting as the 1995 Mariners - further, that no Mariners team, not even one that might win the World Series - would ever be as exciting as the 1995 team. In addition to Dave and Colleen, we also hear audio (as Feliks makes his case) from Rick Rizzs, as well as the late, great Dori Monson and Dave Niehaus.

BONUS EPISODE: "This NOT Just In" Archival Revival Part Three
2026/09/20
On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel digs for a third time into the “This NOT Just In” archives for three installments from the occasional history series that aired from 2010 to 2016 on KUOW Public Radio 94.9 FM in Seattle. The premise of “This NOT Just In” was to use archival audio to shed light on forgotten or not fully understood stories from Pacific Northwest history. In this third "This NOT Just In" Archival Revival, we remember the devastating Columbus Day Storm of October 1962; the infamous D.B. Cooper skyjacking of November 1971; and the first time the long-running JP Patches Show on KIRO TV in Seattle was cancelled in December 1978. This material was originally produced by Feliks Banel with editing and other assistance from KUOW’s Jim Gates. “This NOT Just In” was initially awarded a Program Venture Fund grant from KUOW in 2009 which funded production of the first three episodes; KUOW ultimately green-lighted more than 30 additional episodes during the run of the series.
