In this episode, host Scott Jagow relates his personal story about the 1996 bombing at the Atlanta Olympics. He was there when the bomb went off and part of the media coverage that ensued as security guard Richard Jewell was wrongly targeted by the FBI and skewered by the insatiable 24-hour-a-day news cycle. He also interviews author Lisa Napoli about her new book, Up All Night: Ted Turner, CNN and the Birth of 24-Hour News.
