You're Wrong About

Summary

Have you ever wondered why our collective memory of history feels more like a highlight reel of rumors, pop culture, and half-truths? You’re Wrong About invites you to take a second look at the people, events, and phenomena that have been miscast, misunderstood, or unfairly villainized in the public imagination. Each week, the show acts as a corrective lens for the past. Whether it is dissecting the conspiracy-laden aftermath of the JFK assassination, peeling back the layers of femininity and systemic policing in the history of women’s baseball, or finding the profound scientific and poetic wonder hidden inside the humble rainbow, this podcast refuses to accept the standard version of the story. The format is conversational and deeply researched, often featuring insightful guests who help strip away the cartoonish versions of history we have been fed. By examining everything from the structural failures of government to the cultural expectations placed on women in sports, the show explores how narratives are shaped—and why we are so prone to believing them. It is not just a trip down memory lane; it is a critical, often humorous, and always thoughtful investigation into how our modern distrust of institutions and our attachment to myths develop over time. If you enjoy untangling complex historical webs and finding the human reality behind the headlines, this is your new essential listen.
