Top Fold

Your Number is UP - Season 4 Ep. 7

The Boeing Company is currently trying to stay out of the headlines, but to no avail. Once they created a huge publicity event that was sure to make wonderful headlines all over the world, but hardly anyone noticed. What monumental event took the spotlight? Find out on this episode of Top Fold. Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on 9/11, or when the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died, headlines were replaced and stories fell below the fold. What event happened that was huge but wasn’t talked about because something else monumental took the headlines? The name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD"- TOP FOLD . Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
