    BONUS EPISODE: Tom Tangney on the Egyptian Theatre closure and his lifelong love of Seattle Cinema

    Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Tom Tangney, retired former Seattle journalist and broadcaster, longtime local cinephile - and all around gadfly. The Seattle International Film Festival – or SIFF - announced on October 9, 2025 that they are ending their lease of the Egyptian Theatre on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. The theatre, which was built as a Masonic Temple around 1916, belongs to Seattle Central College. It’s unclear what’s next for the structure, which has not been officially recognized as a historic landmark. Still, it has served as a movie theatre for decades, and was key to growth of Seattle as a center of movie-going, and to the development of the SIFF. Tom Tangney worked at the Egyptian in the 1980s, and has paid attention to Seattle cinemas and cinephiles for decades.

    BONUS EPISODE: ALDS Game 5 Rivals are Connected by Seattle's First Big Baseball Star

    Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is David Eskenazi, Seattle's preeminent sports collector and historian. Seattle is battling Detroit in Major League Baseball's American League Division Series. As this episode was being recorded on Thursday, October 9, 2025, the Mariners and the Tigers were on the eve of facing off in the decisive game of the best of five series. Game Five will take place in Seattle on Friday, October 10, 2025, and the winner will earn the right to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series. David Eskenazi shares the story of pitcher Fred Hutchinson, Seattle's first big baseball star. Hutch played for the Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League in 1938 right out of Franklin High School in the Rainier Valley. After a phenomenal season, he was "sold" to the Detroit Tigers, where he became a Major League Baseball star. Hutchinson is also the namesake of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
