Lighthouse Podcast
The Light Hearted podcast was launched in June 2019 to serve as a place for the exchange of information and ideas about lighthouses in the United States and around the world. Since then, there have been 200 numbered episodes, plus more than a dozen “special editions.” This episode celebrates episode 200 with comments from many guests who have appeared on the podcast previously. Also included: host Jeremy D’Entremont asks co-hosts Michelle Jewell Shaw and Cindy Johnson why lighthouses still matter. There’s also a discussion of the podcast with U.S. Lighthouse Society Executive Director Jeff Gales. And, of course, blooper reels!
