  • Summary

  • You will hear three statements about a historical person or event and need to guess what the lie is. This podcast was created for two reasons: 1. From history class to bar room trivia, I’ve always enjoyed learning and talking about history. This is a fun way to get acquainted with historical people and events, without sitting through a lecture. 2. In this digital era of instant information, it’s not always easy to identify when you’re hearing the truth or not. In this podcast, I will intentionally lie to you, but tell you when I do.
