About this listen

 Before clickbait headlines and conspiracy YouTubers, there was The Great Moon Hoax of 1835. Join us as we talk lunar lies, Victorian media chaos, and a fake discovery so elaborate it makes some modern conspiracy theories look tame. All that, and one astronomer who just wanted to mind his own telescope.
