3 days before what became their historic flight on December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers attempted - what they believed at that moment - WOULD be their first flight. The only problem was…their plane crashed that day. In true Scandal Sheet fashion, we have dug deep to uncover the details of this boggled start and give listeners a dramatic recreation of this rarely mentioned and embarrassing event to the pioneering aviators.

Please note. Normally we release the teaser first, and then the full episode later. We’ve turned that model upside down. But you will find the full episode, released on 12/17, updated with this new open.

Kudos to our actor/composer John Hoekstra. Enjoy!

Introducing Our Mets Correspondent

A Millennial girl and a Gen Xer guy deconstruct the Washington Nationals and the game of MLB baseball generally. Both devotional and irreverent, we blow up the “sports talk” genre with humorous, unapologetic, and shamelessly opinionated baseball news outside the press box, the dugout, and the stadium urinals.
