STORIES
The Writing Is On The Wall
When the scariest man in town is arrested for murder, only one lawyer volunteers to represent him...
Produced by Joe Rosenberg, sound design by Renzo Gorrio
Corrections: In a previous version, McCracken Poston is referred to as both a state senator and state representative. He was a state representative, not a state senator. Also, Virginia Ridley is described as having last been seen in public in 1980, 17 years before the events described in this story. In fact it was in 1970, 27 years before.
The Indiana Bust-Out
How does a well-mannered math kid become a first-class hustler? Through the ancient carnie tradition of "The Indiana Bust-Out."
Check out Pete’s book -- Eyeing the Flash: The Making of a Carnival Con Artist
Produced by Davey Kim, sound design by Leon Morimoto and Davey Kim
