Hi everybody, this is Kim Braly and this is Katie and we're about to tell you about a new true crime podcast called American Hostage

I'm super obsessed with it. I just listened to a few episodes today

I cannot wait to keep listening. I'm probably gonna stay up way too late tonight continuing to listen agreed

It is set in Indianapolis in 1977 love the 70s. Yes, it is a suspenseful true story

starring John Ham as Fred Heckman. It also stars Carla Guigino who I love. Yeah, I love her. I love her too

John Ham plays a beloved local radio reporter who's forced into the middle of a life or death crisis when a hostage-taker

Tony Caritzis

Demands to be interviewed live on his popular radio news program through this radio show

Caritzis becomes this media sensation and kind of an unexpected national hero

During this police standoff that lasts for 63 hours

It's so suspenseful and John Ham is so good in it. That's wild American hostage. I love it

Yeah, we're about to play you a preview of American hostage and while you're listening follow American hostage

Wherever you get your podcasts or you can binge the entire season right now like we are on Amazon music or

Wondry Plus. Yep, already halfway done

The seven-second delay for live television was introduced in

1975 by NBC so that Richard prior could host Saturday Night Live without the network getting fined for all of his obscenities

The delay would also be useful. We discovered if a man were to be shot point blank in the head live on national television

And

Any nap list 911. What's your emergency? Yes, this the police

This is 911 dispatch is your tenant Collins there
