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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T20:22:35.066214+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689"},"episode":{"title":"S6: THE CATALYST: The Traveler","slug":"s6-the-catalyst-the-traveler","published_at":"2026-06-29T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689/s6-the-catalyst-the-traveler","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8920957","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8920957.mp3?modified=1782407729&sid=5034723&source=rss","summary":"Amber's on vacation, so she's yanking an episode of The Catalyst from behind the paywall over at Grab Bag Collab.
