About this listen

This week, we accidentally stumble into a surprisingly deep question: does historical accuracy actually matter if the story’s good?

From Braveheart’s creative liberties to Chernobyl’s condensed timelines, we explore how far films and books can stretch the truth before it stops being “based on a true story” and starts being full-on fan-fiction.
