In 1986, Frank Miller took Batman to a grim, dystopian future where a fascist government had taken over and only vigilantes and their followers could fend off their predations in the form of The Dark Knight Returns.

In 1986, writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons launched a fascinating alternate-history tale of costumed heroes and the use (and misuse) of power that became a landmark in the comic-book form.

Congress actually held a hearing on MKUltra, and for a brief, glorious moment it looked like we'd get a serious discussion about CIA mind control experiments, Frank Olson, Sidney Gottlieb, Charles Manson, and newly declassified files. Instead, the hearing devolved into an anti-vaccine spectacle complete with political grandstanding and conspiracy talking points. This week we're breaking down every...

The Confederacy lost the Civil War, but the myth it built afterward never really died. In this episode, we unpack the Lost Cause: the postwar propaganda campaign that recast slavery as “states’ rights,” turned Confederate leaders into martyrs, and helped justify monuments, textbooks, and generations of historical denial. From secession documents to Black Union soldier massacres, Confederate prison...

For years, the village of Artigat lived with an absence no one could bury. Martin Guerre had vanished, leaving behind a wife, a child, and a household suspended between grief, duty, and doubt.

The village welcomed him back, but as the household began to settle...

In this episode, we unpack the long road to the Iraq War, from the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and U.S. support for Saddam Hussein during the Iran–Iraq War to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War, sanctions, weapons inspections, and the Bush administration’s false claims about weapons of mass destruction.

Join us on a deep dive into Jeffrey Epstein’s rise, the controversial 2008 plea deal, the 2019 arrest, and why the case shattered public trust.

Take a human look at how prejudice reshapes pub...

Mary Shelley did not crawl out of the fog one night holding Frankenstein; rather she was born into a political and philosophical pressure cooker. Her mother wanted to tear gender roles out by the roots, her father thought government was a rigged scam, and her childhood house was full of banned books, radical houseguests, and casual corpse reanimation talk over dinner. Out of bad husbands, laudanum...

The Church calls it God’s punishment, the King swears it’s “just wolves,” and the people actually burying half-eaten children keep saying, " No. This is something else."   In this episode, we dive into three years of throat-ripped corpses and a monster whose body conveniently rotted before anyone important could examine it. Was La Bête du Gévaudan a freak predator, an escaped exotic, or an early b...
