Loads of Historical Misconceptions for YOU!
Sometimes “facts” become so ingrained in our culture, it’s a part of life. But sometimes, as it happens, those facts aren’t really facts at all! So today, we’re fixing the past.
Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you’ve never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn!
If you’ve got a strange question you want answered ask us on Facebook, tweet us @StrangerStill, or drop us an email at podcast@strangerstillshow.com
