In this episode of a writer trying to be an author we head to San Fernando California to check out the Manson Family Twinkie Van heist and getaway but they didn't get away. They was caught after they crashed we look at it all up close and personal in our observations.
Backp☮rch Tapes TV isn't a true crime channel, it’s an autopsy of the American narrative. While we use the lens of the Manson era and its outliers, our real focus is the space between the 'official' history and the lived reality. This is a channel about life, observation, and the personalized perception of a world we thought we understood until we looked closer. Come pull up a chair on the porch as we examine the artifacts, the letters, and the myths that define our collective past.
