Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Similarly, Ryan Brandon from the Facebook group asks, Have there been any topics you started to research, and decided to NOT make an episode about for one reason or another? There are two episodes I started to do that I abandoned in the middle of writing them. The first was on the serial killer HH Holmes. The reason I abandoned the episode is because when I started doing research, I found the real story was so much different from the one I originally heard.I later returned to the subject and published an episode on it. The other was on the Gang of Four, the group that tried to take control of China after the death of Chairman Mao. My problem with this episode was that I just couldn’t get my head around how to tell the story in a simple way.I’m going to be returning to this subject in a future episode as well as I think I have a better handle on it now.
