Hey, it's me, Luke Lamana. Thank you so much for listening to wartime stories. Today, we're diving

into something different, something that I know you will love. My good friends at Ballin Studios have

brought to life another captivating brand new podcast for you to listen to, one that will completely

reshape how you see the past. This isn't just history, It's history with a twist. Each week the show will

peel back the layers of familiarity and reveal the hidden, often forgotten origin stories of the

people, places, and things that define our world today. This isn't just talking about dates and

names. These are incredibly immersive stories about the moments,

the decisions, the twists, that changed everything. Do you know how Hollywood came to be the

movie Mecca? Or how true crime first went viral? Or even why we don't use the metric system? These

stories will not only answer these questions, but blow your mind.

History is never a straight line,

and pretty often we can pinpoint a remarkable thrilling twist,

which affects everything that follows.

The show is called A Twist of History, and it's live right now.

I'm about to play you a clip from episode one called

How Murder Went Viral. After you finish listening, please go follow a twist of history

wherever you get your podcasts and listen to the full episode. Enjoy. It's late at night.

You've had a long day at work.

You're exhausted.

You finally turn out all the lights and go to bed.

But, of course, you get a notification on your phone.

You have to check it, right?
