Joseph Auerman's Descent Into Debt And Murder
News of the Times Episode 475 | 1806
In today’s episode, we dive into a gripping tale from the year 1806—a story of mounting debt, quiet desperation, and a man pushed to his limits. Once a respected family man and a diligent baker, he’s now hunted by a relentless bill collector who seems to take pleasure in his downfall.
When tragedy strikes, the court is left to decide: was it murder… or manslaughter?
It’s a case unlike our usual stories, but its themes—financial pressure, moral struggle, and justice—feel just as relevant today.
And then, we’re off to Ireland, where the Georgian theme continues with a chilling legend. If you ever find yourself staying in a grand Irish castle, beware the face in the window… an eerie omen said to foretell death.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
