description You're Wrong About Overview
"You're Wrong About" is an American history and pop culture podcast launched in 2018, originally co-hosted by journalists Michael Hobbes and Sarah Marshall. The series methodically reexamines widely misunderstood or heavily sensationalized events from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, such as the O.J. Simpson trial or the 1990s "Satanic Panic." By dissecting contemporary news coverage and public reactions, the hosts challenge the historical consensus of these events. The show appeals to listeners interested in media criticism, sociology, and revisionist history presented with a casual, analytical tone.
