Listeners:  We apologize for the fact that the volume of the audio is uneven. Unfortunately, no matter what we did, we could not fix the problem, despite hours of editing. We we did not have enough free time to re-record the whole episode. Sorry about that!  Also: When we recorded, Jim had a sore / hoarse throat, which clearly messed with his vocals.

There’s a certain kind of story that crackles with urgency when it breaks, dominating conversations and front pages, only to vanish completely a few years later. FORGOTTEN NEWS PODCAST goes looking for those stories. Each episode is a deep dive into a different moment that once captivated the public, an event or figure that seemed indelible but somehow slipped through the cracks of our collective memory. You’ll hear about scandals that toppled empires of reputation, inventions that promised to change everything, and personal dramas that played out on a very public stage-all now quietly gathering dust in old newspaper archives and forgotten diaries. The aim isn’t just to recount these tales, but to understand why they resonated so powerfully in their moment and explore what their disappearance says about how we remember. It’s a process of careful excavation, piecing together narratives from primary sources, historical accounts, and the cultural echoes that remain. Tuning into this podcast feels like opening a long-lost trunk in the attic; every story is presented with the immediacy it once held, allowing you to experience the surprise, outrage, or wonder just as an audience did decades or even centuries ago. These are the headlines that time edited out, brought back to life.
