32 min - The mysterious death on William Randolph Hearst's yacht
Click here to leave me a written message!
In November of 1924, a group of people went out on William Randolph Heart's yacht which was named The Oneida to celebrate film producer Thomas Ince's birthday.
The weekend ended with Thomas Ince's death.
It's unclear what happened on the yacht that weekend to cause Thomas Ince's death, but I'm talking about it in this episode, in what I've dubbed 'The Oneida Incident'.Support the show

About Door Key
From the publisher's feed
I find myself drawn to the more social side of history than dates or battles. While I do think dates and battles are important, I find questions like ‘When did Catherine of Aragon realize…
she'd lost Henry VIII’s love to Anne Boleyn?’ or ‘Just what exactly was Aaron Burr's deal?’ to be what really fascinates me about history. This is the lens that I view history from on the Door Key Podcast (and the accompanying Substack newsletter) because I'm a dork with a deep love of history who wants to talk about it.
