  • Summary

  • Well, this one is classic WWYTMT!? territory. Historian and author Natasha Tidd joins Neil and Dave to talk them through some of the most lurid pieces of fake news ever written.

    The lads discover how mendacious Mark Twain was, whether beavers walked on the moon and just how serious the consequences can be of fake news that has clearly evil intent.

    Part 1 sees the boys learn how to avoid a tiger attack. It’s grrrrrrreat.
