In this ‘Nailed It!’ episode we look back on Chris’s two conversations with author and journalist Otto English, picking out some of the most entertaining, moving, and eye-opening moments from those episodes: ‘‘Fake History’ with Otto English’ and ‘‘Fake Heroes’ an Interview with Author Otto English’.
Topics:
- What did Winston Churchill actually say?
- How the propagation of ‘the good old days’ philosophy caused Brexit.
- Would Che Guevara’s image be so iconic if he weren’t so “damned good-looking?”
- Otto’s childhood hero John Wayne and how he let him down.
- Chris's story about the Beatles, Dick James, and Robin Hood.
