About 5 years ago I guested on a podcast about Christopher Columbus. I read 4 books in preparation. I took several semesters of Latin American history in college but discovered my passion too late to get a double major lol.
Anyway I had PAGES of shit. So many myths I was going to dispel, dozens of citations, this was going to be my magnum opus, my one brush with academia.
I then got super trashed with the hosts and repeatedly said “Columbus was a dick” so many times they never published the episode. We were all too fucked up and screaming to make something serviceable lol
I blame that crack.com article that came out like 15 or 20 years ago or whatever it was. One of the worst and most poorly research articles I’ve ever read and yet it’s spawned a legion of terrible responses.
