A Game Changer - Season 2 Episode 1
Episode description
What made reporters, photographers, and thousands of spectators suddenly lose interest in a football game? What changed headlines during a weekend like no other? You don't have to be a sports fan to realize that more than football changed on this day! Find out why 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.
