The format of this radio play convinced some listeners that an invasion was actually happening, in October 1938.

The Battle of Monmouth was the longest single day engagement of the Revolutionary War, and also one of the bloodiest. Estimates place casualties from 300 to 600 in each army. This talk will focus on how and where the wounded were treated, and more significantly how, where and when the dead were buried, most still on the field in unmarked graves. Presented by Dr. David Martin.

What if the secret to less stress and stronger relationships was simply... releasing your grip? This session unpacks the "Let Them Theory," a mindset shift that frees you from the exhausting work of managing other people's thoughts, feelings, and choices. Participants will discover how to set boundaries that actually stick, manage expectations without resentment, and redirect their energy toward what they can control. Along the way, we'll explore self-care, resilience, and acceptance as tools for real emotional freedom. Walk away with practical strategies you can use immediately, to feel lighter, show up better in your relationships, and stop carrying weight that was never yours to hold.
