The last episode had us looking at the age old tradition of telling lies, so it only seems right to go the other way! Speaking truth though, can often get the speaker in trouble unless done in a careful way! This week, G. Long and Deb are discussing satire in history. Satire, especially comedic satire, has been used to speak truth about leaders, despots, society, religion, and everything in between for more than a thousand years. Plato, Erasmus, Swift, Twain, and others have demonstrated that satire is often more effective in cutting through the bullsh*t, than even the sharpest knife. We take a look at satire in history on this episode of the Long in the Boot Podcast!
