A couple of day's late due to technical difficulties (no fault of our own we swear) we're up and running again. This week we're talking about one of the most dramatic sporting moments of the 20th century, an unrelated double KO in the ring, Destroyer Squadron Eleven (and the biggest peace time Naval disaster) and one of H.P Lovecraft's greatest works of weird fiction "The Rats in the Walls".(Sorry about the lack of abbreviation, our new host does't like punctuation apparently)

This week, Mary Winchester dies & with her, the truth behind her mystery house. Another mining disaster rocks England, and a man named Dolittle does quite a bit.

Another year, another serial killer, airship disaster and more strange news from this week in 1921

This week we step into the roaring twenties and take a look at the first commercial radio broadcast, a tragedy in baseball, and ruthless serial killer, Carl Panzram. All making the news, this week in 1920.
