1937

Mokena’s first post office opened February 10, 1853 and served our newly formed train depot of a town. With the railroad splitting through town, it made Mokena a prime mail location, with mail coming via the passing trains, to and from Chicago.  The post office was a vital organ in the life of the new town and many took up the role of Postmaster, until 28 year old Margaret M. Maue is takes the position. She served as one of Mokenas' longest running Postmasters or Postmistresses, serving the role for thirty four years.

Margaret Maue, (later Margaret O'Brien), held the post on March 2nd, 1937, when the Post Office was robbed in the dark of night. The Office suffered a significant loss and Matt shares the story of the search to catch the bandits and what was recovered from the theft.  In addition to the story of the theft, Matt paints the picture of what the Post Office meant to the residents and how it helped Mokena grow into a hub along the route to and from Chicago.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by Vanity Fair's David Canfield (Little Gold Men) for the film that launched Cary Grant into super stardom. We discuss Cary Grant's contentious personal life filled with gay rumors, our favorite sneaky ways around the Hays Code, the joy of screwball comedies and their subversive gender roles, a pitch perfect Irene Dunne performance, and Mr. Smith – a very good boy.

А.Л.Ж.И.Р. — Акмолинский лагерь жён изменников родины. Самый большой лагерь для женщин политзаключенных в СССР, который находился в Казахской ССР. С 1938 по 1953 год через него прошли 8000 женщин, из них больше половины ЧСИР — члены семей изменников родины. Первые «алжирки» в столыпинских вагонах были этапированы в лагерь январские морозы. Они сами строили бараки для себя и для тех, кто приедет позже.

В новом эпизоде рассказываем как жили и выживали жёны изменников родины. Говорим с сотрудницами Музея истории ГУЛАГа и «Мемориала», делимся воспоминаниями детей «алжирок», которые росли в лагере, и на глазах которых сотрудники НКВД забирали отцов и матерей из дома.

Kotietsintöjä, kiinniottoja, kuulusteluja – Arkistopodi matkaa tällä kertaa myrskyisälle 1930-luvulle Etsivän keskuspoliisin kyydissä.

Neuvostoliitto houkutteli kymmeniä tuhansia suomalaisia 1920-luvulta alkaen. Muuttoliike kiihtyi 1930-luvun laman vaikutuksesta. Moni palasi pettyneenä takaisin, sillä tiedot Neuvostoliiton todellisista oloista olivat vähäisiä.

Etsivän keskuspoliisin tehtävänä oli selvittää, oliko palaamisen syynä todella tyytymättömyys vai vaikkapa ulkovallan vakoilu.

Tässä Arkistopodin jaksossa kuultavat EK:n pöytäkirjat on käsin poimittu Kansallisarkiston makasiineista, Valtiollisen poliisin arkistosta.

Sitä käyttää yhtenä lähteenä myös Suomalaiset Venäjällä -tutkimushanke, joka tutkii suomalaisten kokemuksia Neuvostoliitossa. Hankkeessa valmistuu yksittäisten suomalaisten henkilötietoja käsittävän tietokannan lisäksi tieteellisiä artikkeleita ja tutkimuskirjallisuutta eri suomalaisryhmistä Neuvostoliiton lukuisilta maantieteellisiltä alueilta.

Alright, this is the quick and dirty episode for July! Full of information on Japan, China, and the very first shots of the Second World War. From the mid-1800s to the 1930s, Japan was moving faster and faster towards superpower in the East status. By the early '30s, Japan had finally arrived on the big stage. China, on the other hand, was unraveling and had in the 20s only recently started to put itself back together. A series of sometimes bloody sometimes innocuous sometimes staged "Incidents" happened from 1931 straight through to 1937. Then the most incident like incident of them all happened near a beautiful old bridge. A missing private, a confusing firefight, and an insulting truce led to the fall of Northern China and the Second Sino Japanese War.

All right enough of that lets take a look back to 1937 some 82 years ago, to the dry hot summer of northern china. In the chaos of nighttime training one man has to pee, by morning the world has changed, the course for war is set, and everything from Hiroshima to Pearl Harbor to the Rape of Nanking can be traced to one seemingly small incident at the Marco Polo Bridge.

Den anden film, som Morten og Thomas har på deres liste er "A Day at the Races", eller "En dag på Galopbanen", som er filmens danske titel. Det er en amerikansk farce i sort-hvid fra 1937 instrueret af Sam Wood, og den syvende i rækken af film med Marx Brothers. 

Lyt med når Morten og Thomas taler om filmen. Det bliver med både Tarzan-brøl og en forvekslingsscene.
