What if all eyes were on the greatest basketball player ever anticipating his announcement of coming out of retirement and back into the game he dominated, and then in the blink of an eye, it no longer mattered? You know Michael Jordan's story but what happened after "The Last Dance"? What everyone was talking about one moment, they weren’t the next.
Episode 1 explores this event.
Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on the day JFK was assassinated, the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died other news events were on peoples’ minds, in the headlines and on the evening news, but after this event, 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 or top story? The name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD" - TOP FOLD.
Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
