Would you believe that the news of an American soccer team being almost killed by the opposing players and fans and then again playing just two days later in the same stadium WASN'T what everyone was talking about? Instead of reporting about the melee, ALL the major networks were coving a HUGE announcement.  Find out what it was on THIS episode of TOP FOLD.

Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on 9/11, or when the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died, headlines were replaced and stories fell below the fold. What event happened that was huge but wasn’t talked about because something else monumental took the headlines? The -name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD"-TOP FOLD.

Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.
