E19: Let Us Have Justice
As word of the strike spreads, donations and well-wishes begin to pour in from other low-wage workers around the city. More good news arrives when a fiery (but controversial) activist joins the strike’s leadership team and a major religious group rallies behind the cause. Meanwhile, Oscar Elsas launches a counter-strike, marshaling a secret coalition of mill owners, an army of undercover informants, and a calamitous raid of the mill village.

On the eastern edge of Atlanta, the wealthy but aging owner of an enormous cotton mill passes the torch to his son.

E17: Prosecuted or Persecuted?
A horse slasher, a Gospel choir, motorcycle races, and whiskey gangs made the summer of 1913 one to remember in Atlanta. But it was the trial of Leo Frank that really had the town buzzing. By late August, the two dueling legal teams wrap up their closing arguments, and then—a verdict.

Customer Reviews
10/10 would recommend
I started and finished this podcast in a week during my driving job. It’s very eye opening, historical and entertaining all wrapped into one podcast!
Meaning
I’m too lazy to listen to the whole podcast lol but can somebody please tell me the meaning of the name of the podcast! I’ve tried listening to the last episode and I can’t find it!! TIA!
Fantastic Binge about Atlanta History!
I’d started listening to this podcast when about 3 episodes were out, then waiting weekly for new episodes got tedious for me so I stopped listening for a while, or would catch an episode here and there when I had a long drive. The last two days have seen me with an AirPod in one ear at all times listening intently while half-assing the rest of my life as I binged the last ten episodes and all I can say is holy moly, what a ride! There are moments in this series I can just think about and get chills. Like BT says, there are some moments where it would be easier to look away (maybe why I strayed in the beginning), but it’s worth hanging in to find out how everything is interconnected and how the ripples of what happened over 100 years ago can still be felt today. BT does an incredible job distilling what had to have been a daunting amount of information into a cohesive and fascinating story. To say it’s worth a listen would be an understatement.
