概要

 Remember that neat, tidy version of history and science you learned in school? The one with brave explorers discovering continents, brilliant inventors having a single "eureka!" moment, and a food pyramid that was definitely going to make you healthy? It turns out, a lot of it was wrong. Welcome to Half-Truths, the show dedicated to unlearning the myths, half-truths, and outright fabrications that have become common knowledge. In each episode, we take one "fact" you thought you knew and trace it back to its source. We'll uncover the surprising context, the political spin, and the often more fascinating truth that got left out of the textbook. This isn't just about trivia; it's about understanding how the stories we're told shape our world. Get ready for the "aha!" moments that will make you see the past—and the present—in a whole new light.Half-Truths Podcast 教育 社会科学 科学

    EP61 - The Spanish Flu: A Pandemic Born in Kansas and Named by Censorship
    2026/03/11
    The 1918 influenza pandemic killed more people than the Great War it interrupted, and history remembers it as the Spanish Flu. But why was a neutral country blamed for a global catastrophe that likely began in the American Midwest? This episode uncovers how wartime propaganda and censorship allowed the true origin of the virus to escape detection, leaving Spain to take the fall for history's deadliest plague.
