Sobre este áudio

 Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, there are a lot of cases that have earned the distinction. In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.Amber Hunt Ciências Sociais Crimes Reais Mundo

  • S5 Ep17: Faith Vs. Flag: How the Gobitis Case Tested the Limits of Religious Freedom

    S5 Ep17: Faith Vs. Flag: How the Gobitis Case Tested the Limits of Religious Freedom
    Jul 7 2025
    In 1935, 12-year-old Lillian Gobitas and her little brother William were kicked out of their Pennsylvania public school — not for misbehaving, but for quietly refusing to salute the flag, which they believed went against their Jehovah’s Witness faith. Their dad sued, arguing the school had violated their right to religious freedom. But in a sweeping decision, the Supreme Court sided with the school, saying national unity outweighed First Amendment protections. The ruling sparked a wave of violence against Jehovah’s Witnesses across the country, and fueled criticism the Court had abandoned core constitutional rights.

  • The Murder of Phil Hartman

    The Murder of Phil Hartman
    Jun 30 2025
    Crimes Of The Centuries is dark again this week, so here is an episode that you might not have heard previously... or might just want to listen to again.

    When news spread that a high-profile comedian was killed in a murder-suicide in 1998, the response was disbelief: Phil Hartman wasn't just famous for being funny. He was even better known for being a good-hearted guy. The shocking story behind the deaths of Hartman and his wife, Brynn, not only made international headlines, but it shook the entertainment industry and changed how people talked about substance abuse and mental health issues in America.

    Guest Episode: The Wild Tale of Black Jack Ketchum
    Jun 23 2025
    While Crimes of the Centuries takes a brief summer break, enjoy a guest episode from Josh at The Wild West Extravaganza. This one’s a doozy: It’s the story of "Black Jack" Ketchum — a train robber whose criminal exploits made headlines across the American frontier. But it was his botched execution that really cemented his place in Wild West lore. This is one of those cases where the truth is not only stranger than fiction — it’s also way bloodier.
