Today's episode is unlike one I have ever done. I was going to cover myths about Halloween, but I realized that, for some odd reason, I did that earlier in the month. So for this Halloween, we veer into music for the first, and probably last, time.

This podcast sounds like it's purpose is NOT to present historic revisionism, but rather the opposite...to reaffirm the official narratives.
Hi I just want ro point out one inaccuracy. You were debunking the idea that someone died of cancer because 'he has been injected with cancer cells' as a medical impossibility. I think you should listen to Malcolm Gladwell's podcast The Obscure Virus Club of 22 August 2019. So its not a medical impossibility, but of course that doesnt make it true .
