Top Fold
Top Fold
Shattered Season 3 Episode 3
Would you believe the top story was NOT an explosion in a Texas harbor that was SO massive that it leveled every building in sight, blew out windows TEN MILES away and registered on a seismograph over a thousand miles from the destruction? The high death count and extreme devastation was NOT what everyone was talking about. Find out what was 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.
