“The history is quite interesting, but the true-crime, “who killed truth?” framing makes no sense. Each of the stories was a fascinating study in how a particular historical moment handled truth, but the through-line is not developed - the concepts of truth at stake veer wildly between the legal, moral, personal, and scientific, with no clear statement of what it means for truth to ever have been alive in the first place, no mention until the end of something bad having been done to it, and a post-hoc suggestion that the epistemological troubles of our modern world are due to inherent contradictions of believing personal testimony, which is 1) a very strong statement, and 2) not really addressed by much of the evidence. I was hoping for more.”

“Is this meant for kids or adults? The ideas are for adults but the telling is so childish. Lepore is smart and very insightful, but she’s not a good actor. Her delivery is annoying.”

“I recently got into Jill Lepore’s works when I read these truths, it was very interesting. I do have to say that my favorite book of hers is blindspot. Give her books a read, I always seem to learn something from them, and give this podcast a listen!”
