    The Other Machine Henry Built
    2025/07/03
    Henry Ford is often remembered as the man who put America on wheels. An industrial titan, a visionary, a symbol of progress. But beneath the shine of the Model-T lies a darker legacy. This episode unearths the other machine Ford built: one driven by control, fear, and silence. From his antisemitic publications that inspired Nazi ideology, to his private army that brutalized labor organizers, to the utopian rubber empire he tried to construct in the Amazon rainforest-- this is the side of Henry Ford history prefers to forget. With real photos, video archives, and chilling quotes from the men who followed him, this episode explores what happens when a man decides not just to build cars... but to engineer people.

    In Fenton, Michigan, the name Joe Smallbone still lingers—like the faint hum of a radio just past the dial. He was the town’s quiet repairman. A man who lived alone in a soot-covered house on Wakeman Street, surrounded by broken machines and rusting cars. Most people knew his name. Fewer knew his story. This episode traces the life of Joseph Milo Smallbone—from his childhood shaped by absence and illness to the quiet genius of his radio repairs, and the complicated love Fenton showed him in return. It’s not a ghost story. It’s not a tragedy. It’s a reminder that even the quietest lives leave echoes.Welcome to the Archives.

  • Beneath The Bridge

    Beneath The Bridge
    2025/06/26
    In 1935, the body of seven-year-old Richard Streicher Jr. was found beneath a footbridge in Ypsilanti, Michigan—cleaned, staged, and partially frozen. His murder shocked the town, but within months, the case went cold. Nearly a century later, it remains unsolved. In this episode, we revisit the quiet snowfall of that March afternoon, the frantic search that followed, and the uneasy details that still don’t quite add up. Who placed Richard beneath that bridge? And why has no one ever been held accountable? Some stories are meant to stay hidden. But some find their way back.

    In the spring of 1922, 25-year-old Gertrude Hanna stepped out into a rainstorm and vanished. Nearly a month later, her body was found in the basement of a vacant church parsonage—bound, poisoned, and six months pregnant. The case drew headlines across the country. But there were no arrests. No answers. And no justice. This episode explores a story of mental illness, family secrecy, and a desperate silence surrounding reproductive rights in early 20th-century America. What happened to Gertrude isn’t just a mystery—it’s a warning. Welcome to the archives.

  • The Last Witch of Kalamazoo

    The Last Witch of Kalamazoo
    2025/06/12
    In 1929, the body of Etta Fairchild was found at the bottom of a backyard cistern in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her skull had been shattered. Her body was wrapped in wire and weighted with a cement block. Her killers didn’t deny what they’d done—they insisted it was necessary. They believed Etta was a witch. This episode unearths a forgotten crime that feels centuries older than it is. A tale of paranoia, religious fear, and a mind coming undone. Of a woman marked by her differences—and destroyed because of them. Because the witch trials never truly ended. They just changed form. Welcome to the archives.

    In 1934, Paul Ostin was a husband, a father, and just another working man in Detroit. Then he was found dead—posed beneath a tree, dressed in women’s clothing. For a few weeks, the newspapers couldn’t get enough of the story. The speculation was feverish, the headlines sensational. And then—nothing. The press went silent. The public moved on. Paul Ostin’s name was lost to history. Until now. In this debut episode of Allie in the Archives, historian Allie Seibert unearths the strange and largely forgotten death of Paul Ostin, raising new questions about who may have wanted him gone—and why the story disappeared so quickly. Some stories are meant to stay hidden. But some find their way back.
