Some Recommended Movies And Programs (12/8/2019) Dec 08, 2019

Show notes

In this podcast we discuss some good movies and programs I've seen recently. "Dark Waters" (2019) is a legal drama dealing with corporate malfeasance, and "The Confession Killer" (2019) is a gripping documentary about how the Henry Lee Lucas serial killer investigation was handled. In some ways, the message of both of them is the same: justice does not come automatically, but has to be fought for by courageous people.

It's Your Job To Set The Record Straight Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

After reading Charles Leerhsen's excellent biography of baseball player Ty Cobb, it's clear that each of us is responsible for making sure that misinformation and lies do not go unanswered. For decades, Ty Cobb was maligned as a venomous "racist," a murderer, a dirty player, and everything in between. It turns out that these stories were wholesale fabrications. But Cobb should have done more to stop the misinformation from achieving such currency. We discuss.
