Yesterday's Chip Paper


Incredible, macabre and bizarre true stories from historic newspapers.

Dec 11, 2016

Violet covers the unbelievable story of the six youthful desperadoes and the Thanksgiving Day riot at Folsom Prison in 1927. Meanwhile, Jim discovers a man desperately trying to get a moral across through a murderous apple metaphor, and "Old Fashioned" letter writer who really hates these newfangled sewerage systems.

Yesterday's Chip Paper is a fortnighly(ish) history podcast that looks at true crime, strange letters and long lost poetry from the pages of the world's historic newspapers.
