Latest / The Living Past: Current events explained through history.
Episode 10: Why do some stories outlive the facts?
From high school rumors to political parties, California, Cuba, and Vietnam, this episode explores how narratives take on a life of their own. Once a story becomes accepted as reality, facts often stop changing minds—and start serving the narrative instead. The result can shape elections, public opinion, and even international relations for generations.
