Episode Synopsis

In 2020, Surreal Sports Stories covered the saga of Jim Thorpe's body, from his life and times to the drama surrounding it after his death in 1953. It was a story of trauma, triumph and tragedy. And yet when the story concluded, there was a sense of hanging threads: would there be any resolution to some of the causes that those who cared about Jim Thorpe had fought for over the years? Or would things continue to stay deadlocked?
As it turns out, in 2022 there was a dramatic shift in the story of Jim Thorpe. Join our intrepid host as he revisits the story of Jim Thorpe's Body.
