Do You Dare?

Welcome to Episode Nine of Do You Dare?
 
Happy Pride Month guys! 
And welcome to the final episode of our Pride Moth Mini Series. 
This month we've been focusing on cases relating to LGBTQ+ folks and choosing to highlight stories that have impacted the history of this resilient community and forced changes to be made. We feel it's important to share their stories and say their names so that they might be remembered not only for the tragedy that befell them but also the people they were and the differences they have made, so we hope you've enjoyed the series and we can't wait to continue covering these cases even outside of June.  
 
In this episode Em will be covering the relatively forgotten case of the Upstairs Lounge Arson Attack.
In this case we will be taking you to New Orleans to discuss what went wrong on the night of the 24th of June 52 years ago and how callous angry act ended up in so much death and destruction. Ci and Em will be studying not only the events of that night but also why to this day people still barely speak of it. 
 
Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's tragic case and we hope to see you back next Tuesday as Cian takes us all through something spooky that's a little to close to home.

This week Cian tackles his first case and tells Em the prolific tale of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
