We have a lot of Snapshots to cover this week! We start it off by covering some details on the FIRST detective story ever published by none other than Edgar Allan Poe, "Murder in the Rue Morgue." There's a lot of controversy around this one but we get to the bottom of it. Then, we talk about the mysterious murder of Nancy Titterton, a novelist and wife of an NBC executive. A single strand of horsehair solved this murder. Then, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" goes to number one on the Billboard charts. There's also a lot of controversy on the origins of this song. Of course, we discover the true origins on this episode. And lastly, who lays claim to the home of espresso causes tensions across Italy. Don't forget to share this with your friends so they don't miss out on all the fun too!

On today’s episode of Snapshots, we bring you a special episode that we call “America’s Game.” Every month you’ll hear extra episodes of the podcast talking about nostalgia and history revolving around nothing other than baseball, America’s game! Today we talk about the history of baseball and some baseball Hall of Fame. Things we cover include who started the game (hint, it’s not Alexander Joy Cartwright like they want you to think), rants on the Baseball Writers Association of America, old-time statistics, and some baseball players you probably never heard of. I really hope you enjoy this new series on baseball. Let me know what you think! See you again on Wednesday for a regular episode of Snapshots.
