Former Newtown Bee crime reporter Lisa Peterson recounts her investigative reporting about the disappearance of two Newtown, Connecticut flight attendants in the late 1980s. Each woman was a mother with three young children, married to a commercial airline pilot, amid a divorce. Helle Crafts, an attractive 39-year-old white woman, disappeared on November 19, 1986. Regina Brown, a pretty 36-year-old Black woman, disappeared four months later, on March 26, 1987. Helle’s husband, Richard Crafts, was convicted of her murder in the infamous Woodchipper murder case. But whatever happened to Regina Brown? Listen to Peterson as she unfolds her 20-year investigation uncovering new evidence and pushing prosecutors for an arrest of Regina’s husband – the only suspect in her disappearance.

Lisa is also one of the most accomplished animal advocates in the country.  She is a lifelong equestrian, a breeder of champion Norwegian Elkhounds, a dog show judge, a national spokesperson for the American Kennel Club, and PR consultant for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

Listen to the real-life Sabrina (the daughter of a chauffeur on a Westchester estate) discuss her amazing career and her quest for truth and justice.

Played: The Games of the 1936 Olympic Olympics is a fictionalized account of the most intriguing Olympic games in the event's history. It was the first time an Olympic torch was used as a display of unity - despite the lunacy of the reality of the time. The U.S.S.R. had yet to join an Olympic games. Spain and Ireland chose to boycott. Yet the U.S. traveled to Berlin - at first to compete but to marvel at the spectacle that had been built. Jewish athletes were told they would not be able to compete. Black athletes and German athletes would integrate and form friendships through rivalries. And young men and women - one as young as 13 - would have the whole world watching their every move as an athletic contest became a political showcase.

There were games played at the Olympics. But before and after, the real games were played.
