War of the Worlds as aired on CBS October 30 1938

On yet another SPOOKY BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present archival audio from the October 2011 LIVE broadcast from Seattle of an adaptation of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." This version is set in pre-war 1941 Seattle and the Skagit County town of Concrete. The protagonist, played brilliantly by Jim Dever, is soft-boiled, runny-yolked private detective - and washed up high school English teacher - Irving Washington. See what we did there?

This adaptation was produced, written and directed by CASCADE OF HISTORY host Feliks Banel. It was performed live at Town Hall Seattle before a live audience, and was broadcast live on a local radio station. It was part of a nationwide radio drama project to produce unique "Sleepy Hollow" versions in all four time zones across the continental United States.

The cast includes many well-known broadcasters and performers, including Ralph "Jet Guy" Bevins, Lee Callahan, Chris Cashman, Pat Cashman, Tracey Conway, Jim Dever, John Maynard, and Dolores Rogers. Music was composed and performed by Rob Jones; live sound effects were designed and performed by Curtis Takahashi.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is author and radio historian Michael C. Keith. He’s a retired academic, and prolific author and editor of fiction and non-fiction. Among his titles are the iconic text book THE RADIO STATION, and the collection of essays RADIO CULTURES: THE SOUND MEDIUM IN AMERICAN LIFE.

Michael C. Keith also worked closely with the late Norman Corwin, American radio playwright and author, and the man responsible for WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS was a live broadcast on all four American radio networks on December 15, 1941 - just eight days after the attack on Pearl Harbor - marking the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights.

CASCADE OF HISTORY will be presenting WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS live from, and in partnership with, Town Hall Seattle and live on SPACE 101.1 FM on December 15, 2025 at 7:30pm Pacific Time.

It was originally broadcast live - and commercial-free! - on a commercial station in Seattle on December 5, 2024.

Same canvas different painting

UPT is a rising rap artist from New York whose sound embodies the pulse, pressure, and ambition of the city that raised him. Growing up surrounded by the relentless rhythm of New York streets, he developed an ear for sharp lyricism, hard-hitting beats, and the kind of storytelling that comes from living in an environment that never stops moving. His music reflects that world, raw, unapologetic, and driven by the hunger to carve out his own identity in a scene packed with heavyweights.

From early freestyles with friends to late-night sessions in makeshift studios, UPT built his style piece by piece, blending East Coast grit with modern rap energy. He raps about struggle, wins, loyalty, pressure, and the never-ending grind that defines life in New York. Every track he releases is grounded in real experiences, not just what he has seen, but what he has lived. His songs carry the intention of someone who knows exactly what he wants to say and is not afraid to say it with conviction.

What sets UPT apart is his ability to merge intensity with introspection. One moment he is delivering aggressive, high-tempo bars that echo the chaos of the city; the next he is peeling back layers, letting listeners into the thoughts and emotions behind the bravado. His flow shifts effortlessly between confident punchlines and reflective storytelling, giving his catalog a dynamic feel that resonates across different types of listeners.

As he continues to evolve, UPT is building a sound that stands on its own, bold, versatile, and deeply connected to the culture that shaped him. He is not just making tracks; he is crafting a narrative of resilience and self-definition. With every release, he pushes further into his vision, proving that he is not just another new voice in New York rap, he is a force ready to leave a lasting mark on the scene. Yu Heard?

I'm Parker. And I'm having nightvisions.
