À propos de ce contenu audio

 Remember that neat, tidy version of history and science you learned in school? The one with brave explorers discovering continents, brilliant inventors having a single "eureka!" moment, and a food pyramid that was definitely going to make you healthy? It turns out, a lot of it was wrong. Welcome to Half-Truths, the show dedicated to unlearning the myths, half-truths, and outright fabrications that have become common knowledge. In each episode, we take one "fact" you thought you knew and trace it back to its source. We'll uncover the surprising context, the political spin, and the often more fascinating truth that got left out of the textbook. This isn't just about trivia; it's about understanding how the stories we're told shape our world. Get ready for the "aha!" moments that will make you see the past—and the present—in a whole new light.Half-Truths Podcast Science Sciences sociales
