    Myths of History: September 2025
    Sep 11 2025

    From the battlefields of Gallipoli to the coronation of England’s kings, the sinking of the Titanic history is full of stories we think we know—but don’t. In this episode, we pull apart some of the biggest myths that have shaped how we remember the past. Did more Australians really die at Gallipoli than the British? Was William the Conqueror truly the first king of England? And what happens when a so-called “myth” turns out to be true after all? Join us as we separate fact from fiction, and discover why some myths just won’t die.
