Welcome to the very first episode of Headlines & Tidbits, where we uncover bizarre, shocking, and fascinating stories pulled straight from old newspapers.

In this episode, we explore a jaw-dropping 1911 headline from The Rocky Mountain News: “Will You Sell Your Tongue? Missouri Girl Needs One and Offers to Buy It.”

After a freak accident, a young woman named Inez Long was left desperately searching for a tongue graft — and newspapers eagerly followed her unusual plea. How did this extraordinary request unfold, and what happened next?

We also share a handful of strange newspaper tidbits, including emergency calls from 1966 and a headline titled “Walk to Your Meals Like a Man.”
