    S4 Ep46: An Update
    Apr 1 2021
    We thought that because we've been absolutely terrible at keeping everyone updated with how things are, we'd record a little update. It's not an episode, so sorry about that, and it's only Phil L on this one, so double sorry about that.

  • S4 Ep45: The Hartford Circus Fire - 1944

    S4 Ep45: The Hartford Circus Fire - 1944
    Nov 18 2020
    It’s 1944, it’s Hartford Connecticut and this may be the most horrible episode we’ve ever done.  In what grisled old circus types are already calling the Greatest Podcast on Earth, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss the truly terrible Hartford Circus Fire - the awesome conflagration that descended on the good people of Connecticut one beautiful summers day in July. Should they have used petrol to waterproof the tent. Nope. No. Absolutely not.  TRIGGER WARNING. This is a bad one, and it gave both of us a bit of a shock. Seriously, one of the worst. So proceed with caution. It involves children being burned alive.  Written by Phil Lucas Edited by Phil Jerrod Music by Steve Adam Sound clips [No Copyright Music] Retro 80's Funky Jazz-Hop Instrumental (Copyright Free) Music - Sundance Remix Music Credit: SUNDANCE Track Name: "Perséphone - Retro Funky (SUNDANCE remix)" Music By: SUNDANCE @ https://soundcloud.com/sundancemusic The SUNDANCE Official Website is HERE - http://lefthandmusic.fr/ Follow SUNDANCE on BandCamp: https://sundancemusic.bandcamp.com/ License for commercial use: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

  • S4 Ep44: The Goldsboro B-52 Crash - 1961

    S4 Ep44: The Goldsboro B-52 Crash - 1961
    Oct 23 2020
    It’s 1961. It’s North Carolina USA and a Boeing B52 Stratofortress has just mislaid two 3.8 megaton Hydrogen Bombs somewhere in the sky above Goldsboro. 
    In what, despite the best efforts of Pentagon whitewashers, we now know to be the newly declassified 44th episode of the CB Wallop podcast, join Phil Lucas and Phil Jerrod as they discuss The Goldsboro B-52 Crash - the gigantic military plane that fell out of the sky, dumped two of the most dangerous pieces of equipment the world has ever seen into a tree and ended up creating the tensest picnic spot in North America. 
    Did the Pentagon keep it all secret? Well ... ****REDACTED ....REDACTED ....REDACTED****
    Trigger Warning: FIRE THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS! This episode is one of the closest shaves in the history of close shaves, but it’s all about what could have happened, rather than what ended up happening - so unless you’ve got a really vivid imagination, you should be fine.
