30 When Myth Becomes Fact

Description
Happy Primrose Day one and all - for that's what day it was when Sandi recorded this episode in her sanctuary of books.  It seems a shame that such a festival isn't celebrated anymore, but as most of these occasions are based on myth and legend, it's not surprising that some of them fall by the wayside.  But how do some myths become fact? It's true to say that history is only as reliable as the hand that wrote it down and so, this is only how someone as misinformed and stupid as Christopher Columbus could end-up as a national figure of celebration.  Sandi explores some stunning examples of stupidity being re-written as that of heroics...enjoy and don't forget... We Will Get Past This.    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
