Welcome to another DayStrider Bonus Episode. Battlefield tour guide Steve Smith and I sneak behind enemy lines, and he shares the fascinating stories about the night the Germans began bombing the British with zeppelins! You’ll hear the truth - but also - you will hear some myths about those first raids. If you like learning about The Great War, these stories will be right up your alley! Find a quiet place where you can relax while Steve and I take you back to that fateful night in Norfolk, Britain.
This DayStrider Bonus Episode features the full-length interview that was highlighted on January 19th: Epic Delivery Routes. In that episode you will also hear about the greatest beer run ever - a epic tale about a guy named Chickie, Pabst beer and the Vietnam war. After that, we’ll hear a stunning “origin story” about the world renowned Tour de France. It’s almost too hard to believe.
Enjoy!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
