The 100-Year Lie

Well, this one is classic WWYTMT!? territory. Historian and author Natasha Tidd joins Neil and Dave to talk them through some of the most lurid pieces of fake news ever written. The lads discover how mendacious Mark Twain was, whether beavers walked on the moon and just how serious the consequences can be of fake news that has clearly evil intent. Part 1 sees the boys learn how to avoid a tiger attack. It’s grrrrrrreat.    To listen to Dave on the radio check out https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732   To see Neil on tour check out www.neildelamere.com/gigs Find out more about Natasha's book 'A Short History of the World in 50 Lies' here https://www.mombooks.com/book/a-short-history-of-the-world-in-50-lies/?   Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave Moore Edited by Eimear Shannon and Nicky Ryan Music by Dave Moore Artwork by Ray McDonnell   SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/12/joey-chestnut-banned-nathans-hotdog-contest https://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/news/1709606.malmesburys-tiger-woman-has-place-in-history/ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/farm-hands-asked-to-wear-face-masks-to-ward-off-tiger-attack/articleshow/72174089.cms https://www.nathab.com/blog/why-do-tigers-have-stripes/ Hosted on Acast.
