Episode 79 - Stories from the Archives - is live with expert Lara Zielin from the podcast Archive Unknown.

Lara joins Kops and Lee (04:04) and immediately clarifies that she isn't an archivist. She explains what she does at her archive and her love for the weird stories found in archives. Lara talks to the boys about a few of her podcast episodes,  specifically Deadly Bombs and a Red Scare which covers the 1919 bombings in the US and then breaks down what exactly an archive is. 

Special for the Two Idiots and an Expert podcast Lara shows Kops and Lee a photo (check it out on the pod's social media channels) and tells them an extremely interesting story (22:57) about the kidnapping of Charley Ross.

After some more questions for Lara Kops and Lee wrap up this fun episode (57:28)!
