The Way They Told It
Each week, one idea and three true stories about it, told in the words of the people they happened to: their letters, their testimony, their memoirs, read aloud exactly as they wrote or spoke them, with the source named every time. No invented people, no invented words. Every claim checked using FactUnion's fact-checking process; every source is in the episode notes.
