Was Earth really visited by mysterious extraterrestrial travelers thousands of years ago as many proponents of ”ancient astronaut theory” believe? What are the hidden secrets and mysteries behind ancient monuments and forgotten civilizations?
Every week, historian Tristan Johnson and regular human person Scott Niswander dive through the archives to learn about the fascinating histories of ancient civilizations while also debunking the myths and straight-up lies presented in History Channel‘s massively popular tv show Ancient Aliens that has sparked a new generation of conspiracy theorists. We hope through this show, you can gain an appreciation for just how cool ancient societies were, and not simply credit their impressive advancements to alien visitors.

Before CNN and Fox News, before shock jocks and powerful pundits, there was Father Charles Coughlin, an ambitious priest who invented political talk radio as we know it, brought down one president and crowned another, and was at one point considered the most powerful man in America. He was also a rabid antisemite who wrote fan mail to Mussolini and cheered on Hitler, and who used his enormous platform to spread hate. 

In this 8-part podcast, Detroit journalist Andrew Lapin weaves together archival materials and incisive interviews to tell the story of Father Coughlin’s alarming rise and dramatic fall. It’s a cautionary tale of how an unscrupulous bigot can manipulate mass media to spread hate and gather far too much political power. Radioactive is produced by Tablet Studios, with support from Maimonides Fund, and in association with The WNET Group’s reporting initiative, Exploring Hate: Antisemitism, Racism and Extremism.

Question Everything

پادپخش روزها در راه، روایت بیست سال از آفتاب‌های غروب کرده و خورشید‌های برآمده بر سر این سرزمین است. از آذر 57 تا آذر 76. ما بیست سال را از دریچه چشم شاهرخ مسکوب نگاه می‌کنیم. مسکوب را می‌توان با عناوینی مثل روشنفکر و نویسنده و مترجم معرفی کرد، اما برای ما او بیش از هرکدام از اینها، یک تماشاگر دقیق و یک روایت‌گر باانصاف است. او برای ما از روزها، خبرها، اتفاق‌ها، حماسه‌ها، حال‌ها و بدحالی‌های مردم صحبت می‌کند و چه شیرین هم صحبت می‌کند.
