    I LOVE this podcast. As a born and bto toar Heel girl, hearing the cases that took place here really pull me in and I feel like I am there. I love hearing the cases from surrounding states as well, it’s fascinating the way they tell the stories to each other and Curtis’ intros and outros are EVERYTHING!!!

  • Mayberry's Dark Day: The 1951 Mt. Airy Bombing

    I really enjoyed this episode. I thought that I knew a lot of the history of Mount Airy, North Carolina. But, I was not aware of this story. I downloaded it to keep with all of my many own memories/stories/articles.
