In this episode of Yesterday's Chip Paper Extra! Violet and Jim read out stories from historical newspapers, covering topics ranging from sorcery to the untimely death of a previously featured figure.
Join us as we each host sees their stories for the first time and go on a wild ride through history.
Yesterday's Chip Paper is a fortnightly/bimonthly(ish) podcast delving into newspaper archives to unearth forgotten stories about everything from true crime to mad scientists via hunger artists and The Greatest Liar on Earth. The only limit to what we can cover is that it has to have been written about in a newspaper.
