Sound of Freedom with Michael Hobbes AND Human Trafficking re-release

Author: Sarah Marshall September 5, 2023 Duration: 2:44:38
Like so many other mostly imaginary topics, human trafficking is in the news again. Michael Hobbes—ever heard of him??—came by so Sarah could tell him about Sound of Freedom, a surprise hit summer movie that promises it can end child slavery, but only if you buy as many tickets as you can. Then, you can hear the episode we released on "human trafficking"—what it isn't, and what it is—back in 2019. You can find Mike's shows here: Maintenance Phase If Books Could Kill Support You're Wro...

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.
