Bear with Us!
Added 2014-09-13 19:10:37 +0000 UTCHey everyone! James Portnow here. I write the series. At the end of each full topic I'm going to do a live on camera episode called "Lies" where we talk about all the lies we told you and the mistakes we made. Here at the beginning I'm not always getting to see the finalized versions before they go out, so there's bound to be some errors (I noticed a fair share of minor but non-negligible errors in this when I saw it this morning ; ). Also, if there's a story like the sandwich that probably isn't actually 100% accurate but has enough of the truth that I've heard it told by professors at major universities and makes for fantastic storytelling, I'm going to use it, but then talk about it in the "Lies" segment at the end. In the meantime, bear with us ; )

2014-09-14 20:13:47 +0000 UTCYou gotta embellish stories like these, given that most of the finer details will likely never be known to anyone but the individuals involved.

2014-09-14 17:41:07 +0000 UTCThis is pretty unheard of among most sources of history. Leave it to EC for such humility and passion for the truth.

2014-09-14 16:58:14 +0000 UTCBeing willing to own up to mistakes made is the true key to academic integrity and transparency. I'm glad to hear that you guys will be willing to do just that for these series in the future. Thank you again for doing this, James, and we'll see you at the end!
2014-09-13 23:56:16 +0000 UTCThanks a lot James, I was rather curious about some of the details of the latest episode and I would love to check out what you have to say behind the scenes.

2014-09-13 21:10:22 +0000 UTChow goes the saying? "Nobody's perfect!" We all make mistakes. it's sounds like a good idea to me that you also point out some of the make-up you do for the sake of a good storytelling. so i'm courious to see the "Lies" episode. keep up the good work. i love it so far.
