About this listen

The U.S. legal system had been trying for a long time... then one day, they were like, "what if people could experience this as a kind of news-entertainment hybrid?" In the days of radio, it was a case of ignorance vs. evolution centered on a man named Scopes. In the days of television, 1979 specifically, a charming narcissist serial killer defended himself poorly and fronted an air of superiority over the nation. We're discussing the FIRST TELEVISED TRIAL and talking about a few more! Plus, a delicious dose of the MouthGarf Report, and of course, I See What You Did There.
