  • Extra- A Detour to Cleveland, Tennessee

    Georgia history stories will start again the first week of June- we'll talk about the chain gang, the Peachtree bandit, and a few moonshiners.  For now, though, let's detour to nearby Cleveland Tennesee and meet a family with (maybe) a stain in their past, a ghost cat, and a haunted railroad bridge.

     

    I'll be doing a live show at the Banks County Library on June 5 at 2:00!  You are welcome to bring and share a story from Banks County, or just enjoy listening!

  • Don't Pay your Income Tax!

    An April Fools episode where we deviate from Georgia history into the world of income tax protest- today I'll explain that you don't need to fill out your 1040 form.

     

    Actually I'll explain some reason people have used to avoid the income tax and ways they've failed.  It's a fun look into the legal maneuverings that come up every April 15th.

  • A Murder in Coweta County

    This episode has it all- true crime, the supernatural, a trial, and a movie with Johnny Cash!  This week we look at a murder that was later portrayed in a book, then a 1982 made-for-tv movie with Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith.  Watch it first if you want, but if you don't I'll warn you before the real spoilers start.
