Who Killed Truth? - Jill Lepore
Shared by:hdgdf
Many historians and cultural observers argue we live in a post-truth world—but if truth is dead, who killed it? And how did it die? Join celebrated historian Jill Lepore as she cracks the case by examining key moments in the history of truth, doubt, and evidence across the last century.
In Who Killed Truth? acclaimed Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore traces the origins of our current post-truth crisis. In a series of spellbinding stories, Lepore investigates murders, hoaxes, lies and delusions to reckon with the instability of truth and fiction in the twenty-first century. Listeners will follow Lepore through a fascinating, erudite, and antic journey through the thorny problem of how we know what we know, and why it seems sometimes as if we don’t know anything at all anymore.
Revisiting key moments in U.S. history—from the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925 to the 1977 National Women’s Convention to the first election predicted by computer, and more—Lepore uncovers the secrets of the past the way a detective might, hot on the trail of the killer of truth.

Certainly it’s been given increased momentum by the proliferation of mindless con theories across the net. The industry of “alternative truth” has become an ingrained lifestyle for many isolated types. They’ve got quite a presence in these here parts.

How’ve you been Caesar? Do you (or anyone else) happen to know if Prof. Lepore narrates this offering. An absolutely brilliant writer……As a narrator?..Not so much.

Tolerably well, mon juge. Can’t judge at this precise juncture. Indeed, they ought to throw the voice actors more bones.

Just checked; it’s the good doctor behind the mike. It really is frustrating when the content is so brilliant. You have to think that this impacts sales significantly — and the the bean counters at the publishing houses would take notice.

If you can’t warm to the vocal stylings, is is possible to filter it through something? What about speeding it up? I have to admit, a voice has to be truly cacophonous before Great Caesar would notice.

Naw, I’d just rather complain - and move on to the wealth of fabulous content that’s here on ABB. No sarcasm, I have a backlog of a least 200 titles that I haven’t gotten to yet, but looked - and still do - too good to just pass by. Much gratitude to the likes of jodindy, rmoor, MojoYugen, Ants261, GSaunders, Goomer, Xavieronline (Excellent taste, my man!), Haldered, a recent addition, and so many others. Sorry if I’ve forgotten any heavy hitters.

Indeed, a riches of wealth, including professoramoretti@gmail.com, Euripides, mrpride et al.
