Chapter 2 of our story reveals that sometimes the smallest details truly do contain the devil. We examine a murder trial from early 20th century Chicago, and look at the privileges and responsibilities that accompany greatness. The Curator finds out that the museum seems to have a mind of its own, and that it may know better than she does, what stories you need to hear.

Vol 1 Ch 2: Ravens and Writing Desks

From the Just A Story team, comes a weekly, serialized experimental storytelling podcast which explores historical legends through the artifacts on display in the Audio Dime Museum. Part guided tour, part radio drama; each episode presents the curious story of one object from the collection. Meet your guide on this journey, The Curator, and learn her secrets as you delve into the world of possibility, magic and the unknown. 
 
Merging the suspenseful style of mystery with the conventions of ghost stories and the peculiarity that only historical fact can provide, this podcast is not for the faint of heart.

Please begin at the beginning, with the *PROLOGUE* and proceed through the collection accordingly. Unlike most stories, this one does not improve when listened to in reverse.
