Former friends, now bitter rivals -- a previous president tries to unseat his protégé who occupies the highest seat in the land. Everyone is talking about this election, and then in a flash, they weren’t. Find out why on the next episode of Top Fold.
Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on the day JFK was assassinated, the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died other news events were on peoples’ minds, in the headlines and on the evening news, but after this event, 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 or top story? The name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD" - TOP FOLD.
Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
