Jesień 1777. Wzgórza nad rzeką Hudson w stanie Nowy York.7 tysięcy najlepszych brytyjskich żołnierzy maszeruje na Albany. Jeśli tam dotrą, Ameryka wraca pod koronę. Na ich drodze pozornie nic nie stoi.W tym odcinku zobaczysz, co się dzieje, gdy kompetencja spotyka ignorancję.

Leighandre “Baby Lee” Jegels was a rising star in South African boxing; an undefeated fighter, a national karate champion, and a young woman whose strength inspired thousands. But behind the scenes, she was fighting a far more dangerous opponent. In a case that ignited widespread anger and renewed attention to South Africa's epidemic of gender-based violence, Leighandre's promising career was cut short by the man who was supposed to love and protect her, and she was failed by the very system designed to keep her safe.If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or gender based violence, you can contact:In South Africa:The Gender Based Violence Command Center hotline 0800 428 428 (Call Line) 31531 (Text Line)or visit their website at gbv.org.za The Stop Gender Violence Help Line 0800 150 150 or visit their website at lifelinesa.co.zaIn America:The Domestic Violence Hotline Website call: 800-799-7233Text SAFE to 88788In the UKhttps://www.nationaldahelpline.org.ukor call 0808 2000 247Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for True Crime California:True Crime California is a podcast about crimes that take place in, you guessed it - the great Golden State of California.

Zach Joachim of the Richmond Times-Dispatch joins us. In this interview, we dive into the journey of a seasoned Richmond sports journalist. Zach reflects on what first inspired him to pursue a career in sports journalism and how the Richmond sports scene has evolved over the years. We explore the balancing act between remaining objective as a reporter and supporting local athletes with whom he has built relationships over time. He shares his thoughts on VCU's offseason moves, the feature story he's most proud of, and his dream assignment if he could cover any sporting event in the world. We wrap up with a fun discussion on his personal Richmond "Mount Rushmore" of athletes he's had the privilege to cover.
