The Black Friday Scandal isn't over yet! In Part 2, we’re picking up where we left off as the scheme to corner the gold market begins to unravel and fall apart. The plan sends Wall Street into a tailspin, putting Ulysses S. Grant’s administration under intense scrutiny. As the fallout spreads, the question becomes just how much the people at the top knew and what would happen once the dust finally settled. And we finally address the important question: was Ulysses S. Grant an idiot, corrupt, or just incredibly naïve? Listen to find out and drop your opinions in the comments!

September 11, 2001 was a day that changed America forever. In this episode, Sarah takes you through the events of that day, from the first moments of the attacks and the chaos that unfolded across the country, to the devastation at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the crash of Flight 93.

Along the way, we’ll talk about some of the notable people whose stories became forever connected to 9/11, the incredible acts of bravery and sacrifice that happened that day, and the aftermath as America tried to make sense of what had happened. Sarah also shares some of her own memories of September 11 and what she remembers about experiencing the day as a child.

There is so much to the story of 9/11 that no single episode could possibly cover it all. But through the events, the people, the aftermath, and the memories that have stayed with us, this episode takes a look at one of the most devastating days in American history and how it changed the country forever.

Stick around to the very end for another hidden 9/11 gem of a story.

What starts as an attempt to corner the gold market quickly spirals into financial chaos, political connections, and one very messy scandal. And this is only the beginning. Tune in for the first half of one of the most outrageous scandals of Grant’s presidency.
