Top Fold

On the night of the biggest ever break-in of an FBI office, NO ONE heard or saw a thing. What had EVERYONE'Ss attention for days before, during, and after the raid which kept the crime from making headlines until much later. 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.
