Shane’s newest show explores how the weirdest, funniest misunderstandings in human history come from our very human minds. Expect to laugh and learn in equal measure as we explore: Cartoonishly bad ideas that stuck around for centuries How cognitive biases and social instincts drive our love of myth and lore Why modern misinformation feels so compelling It’s part aha, part haha, and all about celebrating curiosity and the pursuit of understanding.
