Did you know states have official desserts? Did you know Maine has an official dessert and an official treat? Neither did we, and I’m not sure we get to the bottom of the proper dessert for each place, but we give it a go on this week’s episode, while also exploring the true origins of the New England Whoopie pie. Ever wonder which state the whoopie pie originated? We have a… guess? 

In this our 45th episode, we have a few comments about the very hot weather we’re having. Also, the CT Show has an ice cream recommendation we think you’ll be interested in. Listen to this episode before you hit Norwalk and thank us later. 

Have you ever wondered about Connecticut’s poisonous snakes and spider population? We have some information you may need to know before you take on a trail in Maine, Mass, or Vermont. Also, we finally talk New Haven pizza. Does Connecticut really deserve to be called the nation’s pizza capital?

Terrence had some strange visitors pay him a visit this week, visited the local elections, and got some news about the UConn basketball team he’d like to discuss. Also, we dive into Connecticut’s legislation on ranked-choice elections and what that might mean for future happenings here in New England. 

Welcome to a new season, a new station, and a new studio for the Connecticut Show. We are so happy to have Dr. Candace Reese on the show to discuss her history with Juneteenth and how we can respectfully celebrate the holiday no matter who are where we are. But also, especially in New England. 

This may just be the last episode on sidewalks, but can we discuss it just once last time? Also, why do we always discuss gardening each episode? Also, want the eight cutest towns in Connecticut? We have this and, well, not that much more. It’s a short episode this week on the Connecticut Show. 

Travis and Terrence were stood up again, but this time we didn’t have a backup plan. Every wonder what it’s like to be in a car with Travis and Terrence for an hour? This is that episode. Come hang out with us in an apropos throwback to shows past with this our 40th episode of The Connecticut Show. 

This week we’re talking to Chapal Bhavsar about how to get around in New England. Should you fly into JFK or Logan airport? Which train, bridge, or highway should you take from Boston to Manhattan. Moving to New England and want to pick the perfect location? Chapal has the answers as well as an idyllic New England vacation route by way of public transportation.

We often keep chatting after an episode, on the car ride home or while we wait to upload files, and sometimes we think, “We probably should’ve brought this up as well.” So, this week, we kept the mic live and captured that conversation for this, our first ever Connecticut Show Addendum.

Tour business extraordinaire, Darran Ganter, joins us all the way from Dublin to give us the what’s what concerning a proper St. Patrick’s Day. We chat the day Travis and Darran became friends, Irish stereotypes in American celebrations, and the sad demise of one of Boston’s legendary Irish pubs. All that and something about narrow roads on this week’s the Connecticut Show.

Felix and Hillary are in studio this week to discuss mushrooms and quarantine life. We also explore where to go to med school and of course, when you should or should not hike up Mt. Washington. 

Travis takes Terrence down a rabbit hole of colleges, films festivals, and income disparity here in Connecticut on this, the 36th episode of the Connecticut Show. Can school districts with fewer resources compete with the Greenwiches of the world? We’d love your feedback on this one. Please hit us up at info@connecticut.show to tell us what you think.
