But behind the heroic image is a more complicated figure: both controlling and naive, and willing to overrule the police entrusted with finding his son.

Sometimes the news moves so fast, you have to look closely to know if you’ve seen it before. And that’s what this show is about. Breaking History breaks down the news, by breaking down history. We cover everything from LBJ and the Roman Republic to Donald Trump and the chaos at Columbia. This twice a month show from The Free Press delivers the best historians, authors, and reporters by mining the archives of human experience to figure out the present. George Santayana wrote, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Tune in to Breaking History to resist the repetition.

Thought provoking and thorough

I truly enjoyed this and came out of this with so much more respect for J.K. Rowling. I don’t agree with her on everything, but I have a better understanding on where she is coming from and the premise that there must be another way to honour and respect for women’s & trans’ rights as well as the idea that black & white or “absolute” thinking is rarely good is something I can stand behind.
Empathetic and nuanced

Finally some thoughtful, respectful and balanced conversation about an incredibly contentious topic. It will challenge anyone to think deeply about their own views and assumptions.
This nuance is something I often miss, but luckily you can find it here

The nuanced debate that is brought to us through this podcast is so desperately sought for in all other media, but never found. Thank you for making this! I feel like I can breathe again. Please more of this🙏🏻 Nuance and open conversation without violent agression is what we all need, both women and girls by birth and women who chose to become a woman later in life, no matter being still a child or older. But with all agression against transpeople I understand how our wishes(women by birth and chosen women) can split us apart and that is deeply saddening
This was sorely needed

Amazing podcast, truly backed by research and listening to both sides. It managed to articulate what I’ve been feeling all along - being shut down without any discussion. I hope it comes back with another topic! I also hope it reaches more people. I wish we could have discussions on this level as a society instead of shouting over each other. Thank you for making this!
