The Last Archive: The Detection of Deception [the liar behind the lie detector]
- Historian Jill Lapore examines "who killed truth" in this podcast.
- This is the second episode, and it really sold me on the series.
- There is some audio reenactment used to good effect and a fascinating history of the dubious character behind the lie detector test, William Marston.

- When looking at things we've gotten wrong, there's just so much to choose from! But The Constant never disappoints in what it picks.
- This episode sets up the mystery of a small submarine found at the bottom of the Chicago river, but also details the disastrous decisions surrounding the SS Eastland, a catastrophe overshadowed in our history by The Titanic. It's equally tragic though.
