Brave New Planet - Un pódcast de Pushkin Industries

Categorías:

Presenting a special episode of another Pushkin podcast, The Last Archive. On the show, Harvard historian and Yorker writer Jill Lepore uncovers the secrets of the past the way a detective might, using archival tapes and documents, intrepid reporting, and radio drama reenactments. This season investigates purveyors of doubt — hoaxers, fraudsters, pseudoscientists — and how the peddling of doubt evolved over the 20th century, leading all the way to the Capitol Insurrection.This episode kicks off a two-part series on the 1969 Apollo mission to the moon. Lepore asks: How did this superlative scientific achievement turn from the height of man’s accomplishments to a wellspring of conspiracy theories? She traces the history from the mission itself, to the Fox news conspiracies a half century on.You can hear the second half of the series, right now, in The Last Archive: http://podcasts.pushkin.fm/bravenewplanet Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
