Almost Lost To History

Who Stole the Cheese in Bangor, Wales, 1854

Another episode riddled with crime, murder, suicide, and theft.  Can you figure out who stole the cheese? Hint: it's an unlikely suspect. I want you to let me know if you think the punishment fits the crime in many of these cases.  We have a good amount for you to judge if they were too easy or too hard on criminals. Also, we hear about Charles Dickens reading for the first time in public.  If you want to skip my apology and get right into the episode skip ahead about 4 1/2 minutes to get to the start of it, but it is some stuff that is important to me so I urge you to listen.   If you like this or any of the episodes, please go on iTunes or Apple Podcast app and leave a rating and review. It is much appreciated.   Host: Christopher Gehrke email: almostlosttohistory@gmail.com twitter: @almost_lost Instagram: @almostlosttohistory Facebook: search the podcast title   If you want to donate to the show, you can on paypal.com using the email almostlosttohistory@gmail.com or patreon.com/almostlosttohistory.    Thank you again for listening.

New Episode Delay Explained

Unfortunately, I recorded a new episode Monday, and when I went to edit the audio volume was all over the place and it sounded like garbage.  Due to my work schedule, I will not be able to record and edit until Thursday.  I apologize for the delay, but I would rather wait a few days to put out a quality episode, rather than put out some trash.  I hope you understand, and I promise it will be worth the wait.  Take care.

Lincoln's Assassination Avenged

This week we are changing things up. Instead of focusing on a specific paper, we are looking at a specific event. Lincoln's assassination and how justice was obtained.  We start on the date of the assassination and end with the hanging of 4 of the conspirators. Open your mind, and dive into this episode expecting to hear this story told like you have never heard before.  History class misses out on so much detail that is brought to you in this episode.  You will feel like you are there while all of this is taking place.  It is an emotional episode, so allow yourself to enter the mind of a citizen in the year 1865 and take a journey through the death of our 16th President and his assassins.   If you like this episode, please rate and review the show.   Host: Christopher Gehrke Email: almostlosttohistory@gmail.com Facebook: Search my name or the podcast title Twitter: Almost_Lost Instagram: almostlosttohistory   You can make donations to the show at paypal.com using the email above, or visit patreon.com/almostlosttohistory and join one of the reward tiers.   As always, thank you for listening and take care!
