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

The real culprit is a bacterium that lives in dirt and soil, and the nail is just the delivery vehicle that carries it deep into an airless wound.

    EP65 - The Lady and the Scalding Cup: McDonald's Coffee Revisited
    2026/08/26
    You have heard the punchline: an elderly woman spilled hot coffee on her own lap, sued McDonald's, and was handed millions for her greed. But Stella Liebeck was a passenger in a parked car, she suffered burns so severe she needed skin grafts for two years, and the company had ignored over seven hundred prior complaints about its near-boiling coffee. The laughable story is a carefully spun lie.
