The Olympics explode on a July night in 1996. The largest pipe bomb the country has ever seen. A string of bombings shakes Atlanta for the next year. Thousands of photos and videos produce one blurry image of the attacker, a photo so grainy the FBI called him “Blob Man.” Agents zero in on the wrong man, the media follows suit, and the real bomber slips away.

  • Angers Trump Domestic Terrorists

    I’m not sure why this angers Trump domestic terrorists so much. They detest when mirrors are held up to them and they see the themselves for what they truly are. Happy Belated 5th Anniversary of violently attacking our Capitol, perma-angry fascists. Remember to “Dur yer own resuch! Derp du durp du duppity do!”

    Just couldn’t get past the vocal fry and the obnoxious and completely irrelevant leftist inserts.

  • What does Trump have to do with this?

    I was young when the Olympic bombing happened, so I was excited to listen to this. It was a really good podcast, except Donald Trump was brought up more than once. Trump wasn’t even in politics during this time. Why is he being mentioned?
