Ep. 84 – The Other Assassin

The mystery of John Wilkes Booth and his own assassin, Boston Corbett

In this episode I tell you about the lives of two men, John Wilkes Booth, the man who shot Abraham Lincoln, and Boston Corbett, the man who shot Booth. Or did he? Stories persist over the years that the man Boston Corbett shot was not really John Wilkes Booth, and that Booth lived on for decades after.

Ep. 83 – The King of the Mountain

The story of an 11 year old boy who had to fight for survival after a plane crash on a mountain

In 1979, a four person Cessna crashed on the frozen peak of a California mountain. One of those people on board was a remarkable 11 year old boy named Norman Ollestad, Jr., and he would be pushed to the limits as he attempted to climb down the mountain alone.
