{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Sunken Press","slug":"sunkenpresspodcast","podcastDescription":"In 1837, an angry mob raised in the City of Alton, Illinois finally killed abolitionist journalist Elijah Lovejoy after throwing three of his presses into the Mississippi. Upon his death, his fourth press joined them in the depths. \n\nThe tallest monument in Illinois now stands in Alton in honor of his contributions to the abolitionist movement and the American ideal of a free press. \n\nWe are here to honor his memory and avenge him. Alton may be the town that killed him, but he demanded his grave be made here. Since he decided Alton and its morals and people were worth his martyrdom, it deserves continued stewardship and vigilance. \n\nEnter Sunken Press, a podcast created by local media enthusiasts and journalism junkies. Hosted by Cory Davenport, a local journalist with more than a decade of experience covering the region who was trained by a Pulitzer winner, Sunken Press wants to solve the world’s problems in our own backyard. \n\nHe is joined by Nicole Gory, a person with textured life experience involving homelessness, criminality, addiction, poverty, single motherhood, and other real issues facing many Americans whose perspectives fall through the cracks of mainstream journalism. \n\nJoin us as we ask tough questions, share our worldviews, and challenge any preconceived notions and biases we have regarding our community, our nation, our world, and how all of them fit together.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/20496949/Sunken_Press_profile88vjk.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/20496949/Sunken_Press_profile88vjk_1200x628.jpg?s=cea9cb038934994d7c7d2c52a8c07d33&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://sunkenpresspodcast.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/sunkenpresspodcast/feed.xml","theme":"double-tree","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-wsuxy-138c235?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":11,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-06:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-6,"text":"(GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Chicago"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":15,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"sunkenpresspodcast","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-wsuxy-138c235-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":86400,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sunken-press/id1804194113","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-wsuxy-138c235?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/29SwhljGihwpPGcmaEDJSv","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/99315f78-d13b-4305-b300-71c36a9d0a54","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/270916915","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3654902","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/sunken-press-6040912","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/130398","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Oswald"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FFBE00"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/iskx5f84j25sfsed/favicon_white12f5c3af-f216-2fec-3eca-6753f90bd67c.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
