CSI: The Art of Historical Detection
With almost 30 years experience in the field of history and broadcast radio, host Wayne Sedlak takes you into the world of historical detection. There we find the raw materials of history: archaeology, linguistics, mysterious manuscripts, ancient languages... and pieces of the larger puzzle we call History. No matter what else we see, the most important single quest is ... "The Story".
Nineveh... and Jonah?
First we will look to the "Mysteries of the Ancient World". Nineveh in the year 772 BC defies historians. The people - from the king to the beggar in the street - ALL were mourning. But why? What happened there... and why?
George Washington... Religious Christian or Hypocrite?
Our second episode of the night is titled "Cryptic America". America's beginnings are topics debated in universities, media, churches and a host of publications. Most Americans are familiar with the picture of George Washington in prayer. But who was the real George Washington?
From the Other Side...
This is the segment where we take on conventional wisdom. Come join us this evening... We know the show will challenge your thinking.

Episode 04: Paranormal Detection Equipment Part I
Hosted by OPA team members Josh and Seth, this week's discussion is all about paranormal detection equipment in a special two part episode. Part II will air the following evening at 12am Midnight. In this part we cover basic paranormal detection equipment that is popular and talk about improvising a bit if you have a tight budget. We also give our opinion on various devices and show some data collected using some of them. 30 minutes of pure para-talk as always!

Ray Moore: Mysteries from the Golden Age of Detection
Ray Moore, a native of Nottingham, England, is now a resident of Florida. His first book was a critical introduction to The Stranger by Albert Camus, as well as a book that initiates the reader with the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales.
In "Investigations of The Reverend Lyle Thorne: Mysteries from the Golden Age of Detection," Moore introduces us to Detective Sergeant Lyle Thorne, who in March 1889 abruptly resigned from the Metropolitan Police and began training to become an ordained minister in the Church of England.
Thorne served as vicar of the South Coast resort of Sanditon from 1906 until his retirement in 1927. However, if Thorne had anticipated a quiet, uneventful life at Sanditon vicarage, he was to be disappointed, for his reputation as an investigator attracted a succession of 'clients' each with a remarkable tale. And these tales are investigated in both this volume and its sequel.
Five cases investigated by The Rev. Lyle Thorne during the years 1910 to 1912 include: The wedding of an American heiress and divorcée is cancelled by the inexplicable; An Oxford Antiquarian is found lying dead on a horde of medieval coins; The young bride-to-be of a rich widower receives frightening threats; A Sussex landowner walks calmly into the courtyard of his house and vanishes; Thorne must find a husband who has taken great care not to be found.
