650. The Ancient Peoples That Lived Before Us - Historian Michael Button

from heretics. · host Andrew Gold

What if our history is a carefully curated fiction? I sit down with Michael Button to expose the dark underbelly of mainstream archaeology—from confiscated tools in Mexico to the ruined careers of scientists who found "the wrong thing." We’re diving into the 1-million-year-old evidence that elite institutions are desperate to keep hidden.

Heretic in the House Shalom Hartman Institute of North America America has a fascination with Hasidic Jews; they show up frequently in memoirs, in newspapers, and even on Netflix. But these popular depictions don’t tell the whole story; they just tell the story the public wants to hear. What they hide is a complicated dance between Orthodox Judaism and those who leave the community, and a web of stereotypes that trap Hassidim, rebels, and the public alike.In this limited four-part series, Professor Naomi Seidman takes us on a deeply moving journey with believers and heretics alike to uncover their hidden stories.Heretic in the House is a podcast from the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. It's written by Naomi Seidman and produced by M. Louis Gordon. David Zvi Kalman is our senior producer. It is mixed by Cory Choy at Silver Sound NYC with theme music from Luke Allen.
