Episode 32 starts with one of the most infamous murder cases in American history. Lizzie Borden took an axe, gave her mother 40 whacks. Or did she? Although acquitted for the murders of her father and stepmother in Fall River in 1892 the court of public opinion was far different. Lizzie Borden's story is fascinating and goes far beyond the double-murder trial.
The epic 2019 Road Trip continues with a stop at the home of The Office Scranton, Pennsylvania. Although it's known by so many as the backdrop for the popular TV show there is more to see there than just Dunder Mifflin sites.
We go Back In the Day to the fun that was had collecting baseball cards. It was a great hobby in the 1980's and 1990's filled with terrible sticks of gum and the potential of getting a highly rated rookie card.
The newest Top 5 is centered around my favorite Boston athletes of my lifetime. My sports fandom began in 1985 and so my favorites begin there. Surely everybody will agree with my list!
There is also a new This Week In History and Time Capsule featuring the Manson Family Murders.
Be sure to watch for my livestreams called Without A Map Friday's at 8pm on Instagram which serve as a sort of postgame show for the podcast. Find them on IGTV and YouTube after they've finished.
