This week we record live from Cisco, TX where the infamous Santa Claus Bank Robbery took place in 1927.  You will hear a story of four men, eager to pull off this heist, but things quickly go wrong. The case is still being discussed almost a 100 years later. We interview author Thomas Goodman about his new book, The Last Man: A Novel of the 1927 Santa Claus Bank Robbery. The book is based on the crime, but it's also based on the one thing people don't hear about when they are told this story, what happened to the last man.

At the end of this episode, you will hear from Tammy Loran, former mayor of Cisco and current Executive Director of The Conrad Hilton Center. Tammy tells us all about the Conrad Hilton Center where we recorded live, and why you should visit Cisco!

Thank you both Thomas and Tammy!
