On this final voyage into Northfield's past, host Kosmo Esplan brings on two of the foremost bank raid scholars, Trip DeMann and Earl Weinmann, to discuss a myriad of September 7th topics. From misconceptions about the James-Younger Gang to popular culture's take on the raid and trivia about the formational event, the trio explore why the story has endured for 150 years.

Primarily recorded live at Loon Liquor on June 22, this month's special Independence Day installment is dedicated to discovering the Northfield Historical Society's past, present, and future as the organization turns 50. Featuring 15 total guests, a live atmosphere, and various stories from five decades, these conversations provide a first-hand example of the community tales that have composed American culture for 250 years.

On this investigative installment, sleuth Kosmo Esplan invites local author Jeff Sauve to discuss his new book "Wheels of Murder", the history buff's writing process, and an assortment of 19th century crime cases that plagued the early days of Northfield and Dundas.

Host Kosmo Esplan is playing ball on this month's TTT (metaphorically, of course) as he digs into historical highlights of the Dundas Dukes and Northfield Knights, crosstown rivals and staples of Minnesota's amateur baseball landscape. Joining the Time Machine this inning are Mike Allen (from the Knights), Ira Carlson (from the Dukes), and Kevin Sevcik (from both) to reminisce about their own experience and shed some light on both teams' pasts.

This month’s episode is dedicated to the work, impact, and legacy of late notable Northfielder Chip DeMann, a local history lover who was instrumental in establishing the bank raid reenactment tradition, saving the Northfield depot, and preserving Northfield's overall past. Joining Kosmo to discuss more about Chip's multi-faceted life is his eldest son Trip DeMann and close friend John Radtke, both of whom have participated in their fair amount of raids.

(The Northfield History Center's exhibit about Chip DeMann is planned to open in mid-May.)

It’s a rhyming episode this month as Kosmo grabs a beer (a root beer, rather) and sits down with Mark Schiller, co-owner of Loon Liquor and local history buff. The two discuss Northfield’s origin in relation to the prosperous milling business that populated Minnesota in the 19th century; the evolution of local distilling from the temperance movement through Prohibition and today; and how Loon Liquor is continuing these historic traditions and intending to expand the business impact on Northfield as a result.

On this President's Day episode, Kosmo's interview goal of a presidential podcast is finally fulfilled when he's joined by none other than President Theodore Roosevelt (portrayed by Adam Lindquist), who shares the riveting details of his multi-faceted biography, from cowboy expeditions to political escapades to assassination attempts and even more. Plus, Kosmo gets TR to debunk (and affirm) some myths about POTUS' adventures, all while both discover the importance and relevance of past presidents to modern American life.

Before he transforms into Commander-in-Chief #26 for an extended TTT discussion, Adam Lindquist joins Kosmo out-of-character to chat about his journeys acting as Theodore Roosevelt, why Teddy's values remain relevant, and what's on Adam's radar for the sesquicentennial.
