by Amber Hunt and Audioboom
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.

<div>As American journalists worked to cover the Vietnam War, one of their colleagues proved a valuable asset: Pham Xuan An had been born in Vietnam, and was therefore able to help his coworkers navigate the ins and outs of an unfamiliar culture. His work was praised as detailed, empathetic and unbiased. It would be years later that the truth finally came out, revealing that the journalist was in fact a South Vietnamese spy whose access to top-ranking military briefings helped ensure thousands of American deaths during the conflict.<br> <br> "<a href="https://www.centuriespod.com/">Crimes of the Centuries</a>" is a podcast from <a href="https://www.patreon.com/grabbagcollab">Grab Bag Collab</a> exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

<div>In the 1990s, Dr. Jack Kevorkian ignited a firestorm when he began helping to end the lives of people who said they were terminally ill. Over the years, he claimed to have assisted in the deaths of more than 130 people, all while challenging police and prosecutors who vowed to stop him. His first four trials ended in three acquittals and a mistrial, but as his antics grew more daring, so, too, did the legal system's fervor to put him behind bars. His legacy is divisive, but few can argue that he single-handedly forced America to confront its stance on physician-assisted suicide.<br> <br> "<a href="https://www.centuriespod.com/">Crimes of the Centuries</a>" is a podcast from <a href="https://www.patreon.com/grabbagcollab">Grab Bag Collab</a> exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.

<div>For much of their outlaw careers, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid weren't the inseparable duo that Hollywood made us believe with its 1969 depiction of the pair. But the movie isn't the only reason the two are inextricably linked: The two members of the Wild West crew known as The Wild Bunch were wanted men when they opted in 1901 to disappear together. The official story is that the pair died in a shoot-out with the Bolivian army, but more than a century later, questions remain. <br> <br> "<a href="https://www.centuriespod.com/">Crimes of the Centuries</a>" is a podcast from <a href="https://www.patreon.com/grabbagcollab">Grab Bag Collab</a> exploring forgotten crimes from times past that made a mark and helped change history.
