The Beat Goes On Season 4 - Ep. 5
Would you believe that the shocking news from the murder trial of a National Civil Rights Icon did not make the top story? What huge event on this day was changing headlines across the nation? Find out on this episode of Top Fold.
Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on 9/11, or when the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died, headlines were replaced and stories fell below the fold. What event happened that was huge but wasn’t talked about because something else monumental took the headlines? The name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD"-TOP FOLD.
Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
