The latest episode of Murderland Chicago: A Deep Dish of Death is out now! In this episode we talk about the infamous duo of Leopold and Loeb, who gave birth to a trope that still lives on to this very day: the "perfect crime." We pull the curtain aside and reveal how this crime was far from perfect, and how it set the tone for portrayals and perceptions of serial killers in the media.

Why do people showing off how great their hand-held food is always hold it like it's going to leave them?

Relax. It ain't going anywhere.

I first heard of it in Ben Hecht's memoir and, thinking it might be just journalistic mythological lore, sought to confirm it. There is a December column in the Chicago Tribune by Burton Rascoe mentioning it and this same author mentions it again in his own memoir. The Chicago Herald and Recorder isn't anywhere digitised but the Chicago historical Society has a microfilm of the 1919 print run.

As devastating as the great Chicago fire of 1871 was, it was far from the deadliest event in the city's history.

On July 24, 1915, 844 people tragically perished in the capsizing of the SS Eastland in the Chicago River.

This week on we discuss the disaster and its causes with special guests, Barb and Ted Wachholz from the Eastland Disaster Historical Society.
