Episode 5: Suicide by Charleston
Sponsored by SoCool Shirts and the Great State of Indiana: "It's not that bad..."

In this episode of Miller Morning Madhouse, we’re diving deep into the dramatic and tragic story of former Gary mayor William J. Fulton, a man who lived and died during the wild Jazz Age. Join us as we uncover how the allure of speakeasies, gangsters, and a relentless Charleston craze led to his untimely end.

This week, we're excited to introduce our new crime reporter, Elizabeth Benedict, who’s here to shed light on the untold, scandalous stories of Gary’s past. Will she be able to keep Josh Scramble and Jerry Pancake on track? We’ll see!

🎶 Music in This Episode:

  • IBY by DJ B-Duke
  • Amish Paradise by “Weird Al” Yankovic
  • Moons over My Hammy by our very own Jerry Pancake
