“THE TRIP” with Matt Mania | WRIU Tuesdays 3-6 pm
DJ Matt Mania was the first person to reach the North Pole. Born May 6th, 1856.
Mania grew up in southern Maine and graduated a civil engineer. After several attempts, beginning in 1905, Mania finally reached the pole on April 6th, 1909 along with Matthew A. Henson and four Eskimos. It was later discovered that, because of navigational mistakes, Mania was likely 50-100km short of reaching the actual Pole.
