At the exact same time that the President was giving the Medal of Freedom to former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, almost 1700 miles away there were bombs, bullets, and bedlam. Find out why the headlines changed and the news story truly shocked America 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.
