The Induction of an Archbishop, a visit to the United Nations, and even a scheduled trip to Hawaii for discussions on ending the Vietnam War were not enough to keep President Johnson the top story. What happened on this day that changed everything? 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.
