Episode 12.4: The Most Dangerous Man
This is the final episode of a special four-part miniseries on Imagine Air Theater. According to the Constitution of the United States, there are very few limits on who can be elected president. A person must be a natural born citizen, at least thirty-five years old, a resident in this country for at least fourteen years... and, well, that’s it. There are no other requirements, qualifications, prerequisites or restrictions. No necessary education, employment history or political party affiliation. A convicted felon is theoretically able hold the nation’s highest executive office. A person could even run for president while in prison. But has that ever happened? The series features Paul Rogan as Eugene Debs and Louis Brandeis, Tim McCaffrey as Clyde Miller, Stella Valente as Kate Debs, Hayes Dunlap as Edwin Wertz, Collin Hughes as Francis Kavanagh, Teg Gray as Seymore Stedman, the Bailiff and the Jailer, David Pinion as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Pilar Uribe as Janet and the Emcee, with William Jones as Judge D.C.

Episode 12.3: The Most Dangerous Man
This is the third episode of a special four-part miniseries on Imagine Air Theater. World War One was called the Great War... the war to end all wars. The United States was reluctant at first to join the conflict in Europe. But by 1918, American doughboys were fighting... and dying... in the trenches over there. Nevertheless, some folks back home still harbored anti-war sentiments. They faced grave legal jeopardy for speaking out in opposition. Among them was labor leader Eugene V. Debs. In our last episode, Debs was invited to speak at an anti-war rally in Canton, Ohio. That speech might have violated the 1917 Espionage Act forbidding all public interference with the war effort. If found guilty, Debs could go to prison. Will prosecutors order the arrest of this popular political figure? Or will they err on the side of caution? Let’s find out. The series features Paul Rogan as Eugene Debs and Louis Brandeis, Tim McCaffrey as Clyde Miller, Stella Valente as Kate Debs, Hayes Dunlap as Edwin Wertz, Collin Hughes as Francis Kavanagh, Teg Gray as Seymore Stedman, the Bailiff and the Jailer, David Pinion as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Pilar Uribe as Janet and the Emcee, with William Jones as Judge D.C.

His backers want him to run for president again... even if he’s convicted and sent to prison. A look into the future? No. It happened a century ago.  In the early twentieth century, U.S. public opinion was decidedly isolationist. Most Americans were in favor of global neutrality. Then came World War One. After the United States entered that conflict, Congress passed strict laws forbidding any interference with the war effort. But one popular labor leader, Eugene V. Debs, opposed the war. Will he take a chance... go to Canton, Ohio, and speak out against the war? Or will he take his wife’s advice... avoid trouble and stay home with her?  The series features Paul Rogan as Eugene Debs and Louis Brandeis, Tim McCaffrey as Clyde Miller, Stella Valente as Kate Debs, Hayes Dunlap as Edwin Wertz, Collin Hughes as Francis Kavanagh, Teg Gray as Seymore Stedman, the Bailiff and the Jailer, David Pinion as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Pilar Uribe as Janet and the Emcee, with William Jones as Judge D.C.
