Eric always does a fantastic job with his podcasts, and a hearty Bravo for this endeavor. I certainly hope that he does not let feeling overwhelmed with this format stop him from doing something similar in the future. To follow a single large case "in real time" a century later was fascinating.

Rather than interviewing authors of true crime incidents, this is a guided tour through century-old news publications and an awfully good time. For fans of American history and true crime alike. Looking forward to more.
