"She Risked Everything That Is Dear to Man" with Alisa Dupuy | Perspectives

John Pearce is joined by impersonator Alisa Dupuy and her cast of woman spies throughout history. She reveals a number of women who aren't regularly viewed as spies and tells their stories.

From informants in World War II to changemakers in the south during the Civil War, Alisa brings the characters to life to celebrate the approaching 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. She also shares how her love for history was created and fostered and talks more about her passion for entertaining and educating.

Tune in to Perspectives to hear about local history and the humanities, residents' stories, and organizations doing good in their neighborhoods. New episodes air the fourth Thursday of every month from 6:00 to 6:30 PM following All Things Considered.

(Original air-date: 6/26/25)

From the age of 9, John had his sights set on a career in broadcasting. But instead, he wound up teaching French and Spanish at Muhlenberg College for 40 years. Now, in retirement, John gets to call the mic and earphones his buddies at our studios in eclectic South Bethlehem. His signoff: "Remember to be gentle with your neighbor."
