Air Date: 8/29/2026 Today we examine what happens when the state wants to decide whether a person reproduces. A century ago, American courts sanctioned the forced sterilization of women deemed unfit to reproduce. 60 years ago, a communist dictator ran a pronatalist experiment with disastrous results. Now, abortion access is collapsing and a new pronatalist movement is rising to wreak havoc. Full Show Notes Transcript Be part of the show!

Der Hobby Archäologe Charles Dawson präsentiert der begeisterten Wissenschaftswelt im Jahre 1912 einen spektakulären Fund. Die mindestens 500 000 Jahre alten Fragmente des Schädels eines Frühmenschen – aus Sussex!

Der „Piltdown Mensch“ ist genau das, was sie brauchen! Aber längst nicht alle sind überzeugt. Immer mehr Funde von Frühmenschen Fossilien in Afrika, Asien und Europa scheinen den Erkenntnissen aus England zu widersprechen… Kommt mit Katharina und Nina auf die Reise durch die Geschichte eines skandalösen Wissenschaftsbetrugs, der die Evolutionsforschung für über 40 Jahre behindern sollte und bis heute relevant ist. // Die Besprechung des Falles startet bei 7.10 Min. // // Quellen & Shownotes // - Russell, M.; The Piltdown Man Hoax: Case Closed; Cheltenham 2012 - Russell, M.; Piltdown Man: The Secret Life of Charles Dawson; Marlow 2004 - Subramaniam, N.; The Problem of Piltdown Man.

In this episode, we explore one of the most infamous poltergeist cases in North America: the so-called Great Amherst Mystery, which occurred in Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1878-79. Centering on 18-year-old Esther Cox, her sister's household and the investigator Walter Hubbell, we walk through the bewildering phenomena of objects flying, knocks on the wall, unexplained fires, swelling seizures, and the question: was this supernatural, psychological or a hoax?   We trace the narrative from its traumatic catalyst through the escalation of events, the public spectacle, the investigation, and the eventual fading of activity. We also dig into the skeptical evaluations, the cultural context of spiritualism in the 19th century, and what this case tells us about the human mind, belief and the boundary between the seen and unseen.

Hi, Stuff You Missed in History Class listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Hoax! Hoax!: Why do so many people believe things that aren’t true? In an era when claims of “fake news” come as naturally as breathing, and social media allows lies to spread and multiply like viruses, the question feels more relevant than ever. From the teenage girls who convinced Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that fairies were real in the 19th century to “Balloon boy” in 2009, Hoax! will explore the most audacious and ambitious tricks in history. Along the way, we’ll uncover the reasons people let themselves be fooled and how we can live our lives and engage with the media with a more critical eye. Co-hosted by Noble Blood’s Dana Schwartz and pop culture writer Lizzie Logan, we’ll bring you stories of pranks and grifts throughout history so big and bold they make us question why we believe what we believe in the first place.
