1.29 - Law & Disorder: Ancient Crimes Unit

Are the good old days truly the good old days? On today’s amble through the annals of history, Kinsey guides Anna (and you) to the earliest time we’ve traveled to yet! What was the law like back in ancient Babylonia? What a great question! Hammurabi's Code was based on proportionality, equality, and justice… if you were rich that is! Forget individual rights, Hammurabi valued social order and keeping the elite, well elite. Kinsey explores the most interesting of his 282 laws along with their sentences – which are mostly death. You’ll even learn what was meant by “eye for an eye!” On the trek through time our hosts discuss what the Egyptians, Assyrians, Franks, and more considered just. You don't want to miss this hike through the history of absurd ancient laws, and how they compare to today!   Podcast Links to share - your friends will thank you... if not, we sure will! * https://bit.ly/itunesotg [https://bit.ly/itunesotg]  * https://bit.ly/spotifyotg [https://bit.ly/spotifyotg]  * https://bit.ly/amazonotg [https://bit.ly/amazonotg] * https://bit.ly/youtubeotg [https://bit.ly/youtubeotg]    The Good Old Days is produced by What A Concept Productions.

1.28 - Anything you Can Fake I can Fake Better

Are the good old days truly the good old days? On today’s journey Kinsey and Anna are out to find the root of fake news and media manipulation. First, they tumble all the way back to the 40s BCE at the dawning of the Roman Empire. It’s Mark Antony versus Octavian, in one of the first instances of a media campaign based on exploiting scandals. They next land in the 1770s on the eve of the American Revolution. Sam Adams taught the masterclass in media manipulation, with some vitriol and libel thrown in, driving colonists to the first Pizza Gate. Trouble was brewing for sure! Leaping forward about a century and its time to meet Pulitzer and Hearst. Their rivalry to outsell the other led to the birth of Yellow Journalism, which essentially goaded the President into war with Spain. It's possible the CIA explored using condoms to force the damned commies into submission. Kinsey takes us into the present/future with deep fakes galore. Don’t miss this week’s dive through the annals of history where you can at least trust the hosts to tell the truth!   Podcast Links to share - your friends will thank you... if not, we sure will! * https://bit.ly/itunesotg [https://bit.ly/itunesotg]  * https://bit.ly/spotifyotg [https://bit.ly/spotifyotg]  * https://bit.ly/amazonotg [https://bit.ly/amazonotg] * https://bit.ly/youtubeotg [https://bit.ly/youtubeotg]    The Good Old Days is produced by What A Concept Productions.
