A local story with a global message and modern parallels

Local playwright Ben Martin and Lee's Summit resident Carl Chinnery join Nick for a conversation about Summit Theatre Group's soon-to-be-released audio play, A Candle Against the Dark. The play tells the story of the Chinnery family's fight with polio in the 1940s. Fittingly, the drama is produced in the style of the 40s-era radio plays.
