The same week, one hundred years earlier, from the pages of America's small-town newspapers. Every episode opens the Library of Congress Chronicling America archive on today's date a century ago: national headlines, strange local crimes, prices that make you wince, ads you can't believe ran in print, and predictions for the future that aged terribly. Read from the original OCR'd pages, quoted verbatim, sourced by paper and city. The news is old. The surprises are fresh.
