The same trails you and I walk on, the same mountains, and the same views. Now imagine being plucked out of Ogden and thrust into the cauldron that was the early air war for American young men in World War 2. Walk with us as we follow Blakely's footsteps into the African Campaign and join us as we take to the s...

And for a fresh start, move to a new area and your past becomes whatever you want it to be. So who or what exactly was Dr EH Harding? And what happened when he ran afoul of Ogden's finest - Pinnock, Pender, Wislon and others? Was the respected Doc duped by the devilish young dame? Or has he finally been exposed to t...

Send us a Text Message.Well here it is. The episode we've promised you for weeks and arguably, our most anticipated episode to date. Belle London. If you've heard of early 1900's Ogden, you've heard the name. But what do you really know about her? Feminist Icon or Human Sex Trafficker? Madame or Monster? Is it possible to be both? One thing is certain, the Ogden you know would not be the Ogden you know without her. Arguably the most influential power broker in the city's history, we pres...
