Devoted Washingtonians Win Back Their History

from NPR Interns · host NPR Interns

The Historical Society of Washington didn't exactly hit the ground running when it relocated to the Carnegie Library in 2001. Last May, after 10 years of financial trouble and few visitors, it finally closed its doors to the public. But Intern Edition's Caitlin Dickerson reports why this year, thanks to a resilient volunteer base and a very generous donation, this DC institution just might get a second chance. Reporter and producer: Caitlin Dickerson.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater goldenclassics CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was carried by the NPR satellite feed. The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by a host (E. G. Marshall) who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of The Man in Black on yet another old time radio program, Suspense). As with Himan Browns prior Inner Sanctum Mysteries, each episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater opened and closed with the ominous sound of a creaking crypt door, accompanied by Marshalls disturbing utteran NPR All Things Considered All Things Considered hosts Ailsa Chang, Mary Louise Kelly, Juana Summers and Scott Detrow present the program's trademark mix of news, interviews, commentaries, reviews, and offbeat features 7 days a week.

The movement aims to end American democracy as we know it and install theocracy, taking rights away from the vast majority of Americans in the process. The season follows the movement through the story of an influential far-right church, its attempt to take over a small town and a dark underbelly of abuse.If you'd like to help us get Season 3 across the finish line, you can help here.
