What catastrophic events happened on Lake Michigan within days of each other and STILL wasn’t the top story? What huge event captured front page headlines during that week in almost EVERY newspaper? 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.
