Author: Sarah Marshall April 15, 2025 Duration: 1:03:34
Have you scrubbed down the top of your fridge lately? Home & garden correspondent Sarah Archer is here to tell us how and when we got so obsessed with the antiseptically clean house as a status symbol, and whether we really need to worry about every bit of dust on that baseboard.

Sarah Marshall, a journalist with a deep fascination for history, hosts the You're Wrong About podcast. Her focus isn't on dusty timelines, but on the stories we think we know-the sensational headlines, the infamous public figures, and the cultural moments that solidified into simplistic myths. Each episode picks apart a specific narrative, often one rooted in the recent past, to reveal the messy, complicated, and frequently misunderstood reality underneath. You'll hear her dive into figures and events from the realms of true crime, media frenzies, and societal shifts, always with a thoughtful and empathetic lens. The conversations in this podcast are less about assigning new blame and more about untangling how our collective memory can so often get it wrong. It’s for anyone who has ever questioned the official story or felt that the popular version of events was missing crucial context. Listening feels like having a detailed, compelling conversation with a friend who did all the research, guiding you through the nuances we missed the first time around. Marshall’s approach transforms topics we might have dismissed as tabloid fodder into genuine explorations of culture, psychology, and history. The result is a consistently engaging re-examination that challenges assumptions and encourages a more curious view of the world, one corrected misconception at a time.
