Inside the Labyrinth, Ep 17: History Myths (can we not?)

Happy Holidays! In this episode we discuss one of my greatest pet peeves: the relentless spreading of historical myths. Just a little disclaimer first, though. While I would never fault someone for not knowing something or perhaps being misinformed, it does blow my mind when said person IS presented with the facts, they are very resistant to being open to them. A lot of the time they become even more indignant and refuse to even entertain evidence. Do I get things wrong? Sure. But when I do and it is pointed out to me, I'm willing to learn and correct my mistake.

With that said, in this episode I discuss the spreading of historical myths, along with two that I am very often asked about.
