In the days before television, the internet, cell phones and video games, families would gather around the radio each evening and listen to Sorry Wrong Number, Moon Over Morocco, Dragnet, The Adventures of the Thin Man, The Shadow, Flash Gordon, and War of the Worlds.
With no visual component, radio drama depended on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the characters and the story. Each episode would leave listeners wanting more and the level of anticipation grew as the next airing date grew closer.

Engaging from the actor's first entrance to the moment the stage lights went dark, Pam Taylor & Briana Biller’s performances in "‘Night, Mother" are raw, are tender, and shatteringly heart wrenching. The two actresses expertly weave the tragic story into such simple and relatable conversation, yet take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster that keeps you breathless. Director Rich Sargent has knocked it out of the park with this production.

The Cold Water Challenge. Unless you're still in hibernation you've probably heard of someone in South Lake Tahoe taking the Cold Water Challenge.
But What is it?
Someone takes a video of themselves jumping into a body of cold water (such as Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River or Trout Creek). Once they emerge from the water they record themselves saying the names of people they are challenging to jump in cold water as well, and within 24 hours.
