About

How do some people convince large populations to believe something that is essentially a large-scale lie? Why are we so gullible? David Baron’s “The Martians” dives into the early 20th century hoax that convinced people there was life on Mars. Leah Sottile’s “Blazing Eye Sees All” investigates the nefarious underbelly of the New Age movement. Moderated by Frederick F. Wherry.
