The gangster’s paradise of old Newport sleeps beneath the family-friendly veneer we’ve come to know in recent years.

The brothels, speakeasies, wise guys (and girls) and bootleggers are fleshed out in an eight-block walking tour. In this episode, you'll learn how Newport almost trumped Las Vegas (nearly becoming the nation’s gambling capital), about the local man who was the inspiration for The Great Gatsby and hear stories of the people who ran the city as well as those who ran the gangsters out.

Proceeds benefit Global Service Learning, which funds local high school service learning trips. You can check out the tour for yourself and find a schedule of upcoming events at the Newport Gangster Tour's Web site.

While Halloween is still months away for most of us, the folks who run the Dent Schoolhouse, one of the area's most popular haunted houses, are hard at work retooling their frights for the crowds this fall.

On this episode we'll take a walk on the dark side for a behind the scenes tour of Cincinnati's Dent Schoolhouse. It's a rare, macabre treat to find out what makes it tick.

The Voices you'll hear include those of Josh Wells, Chuck Stross and Bud Stross, who own and operate the Dent Schoolhouse. Josh led the tour. You'll occasionally hear Chuck's voice as well as that of Randy Schaedel, who publishes the Cincinnati haunted house Web site The House of Doom. Chuck enjoyed scaring us on the tour and he's the one making the random loud crashes in the recording.
