Description

Welcome to the NEW HAMPSHIRE SECRETS, LEGENDS AND LORE PODCAST where twice a month we explore the world of New Hampshire that lies outside of the hard news. I’m your host, Wayne King, and I invite you to join us for an adventure that will take us on a journey together to explore those things that are unlikely to make the pages of your newspaper, the waves of your radio station or the bits and bytes of your favorite news website. Yet for many of us these stories will reveal what makes life here in the Granite State truly worth living. Together we’ll uncover some secrets, speculate on a few rumors and legends and we’ll meet the people, and a critter or two, both living and long departed who weave together the colorful tapestry of New Hampshire’s past as well as some who are helping to build our future. We’ll explore places known and unknown that you will want to add to your bucket list; We’ll laugh together, gasp together and maybe even shed a tear or two. I invite you to suggest stories that you think others will enjoy. About Wayne D. King: Wayne King is an author, artist, activist and recovering politician. A three term State Senator, he was the 1994 Democratic nominee for Governor and most recently the CEO of MOP Environmental Solutions Inc., a public company in the environmental cleanup space. His art is exhibited nationally in galleries and he has published three books of his images. His most recent novel "Sacred Trust" a vicarious, high voltage adventure to stop a private powerline has been published on Amazon.com. He lives in Rumney at the base of Rattlesnake Ridge and proudly flies both the American and Iroquois Flags. His website is: http://bit.ly/WayneDKing
