| 0:00.0 | I'm Sarah Kenzier, the author of the bestsellers, the view from flyover country and hiding in plain sight, |
| 0:12.3 | and of the book, They New, How a Culture of Conspiracy Keeps America Complacent. |
| 0:18.0 | Out now. |
| 0:18.8 | And I'm Andrea Chalupa, a journalist and filmmaker and the writer and producer of the journalistic thriller, |
| 0:25.3 | Mr. Jones, about Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine. The film The Cremlin does not want you to see. |
| 0:31.5 | And this is Gaslit Nation, a podcast covering corruption in the United States and rising autocracy |
| 0:37.8 | around the world. And we have a winner for the Gaslit Nation 2022 Halloween Extravaganza Radio Play |
| 0:46.3 | contest. And it is Sarah Biggs. And her radio play is called You Are Who We've Been Waiting For. |
| 1:01.5 | We chose this entry out of several entries that we received because it just captured a mood. |
