Our friend Sarah Stook from the UK and host Andrew Donaldson each bring lists of 10 historic events and real life people that should have a movie or series treatment, from new angles on the well known to the obscure events everyone should know about. Sarah and Andrew discuss why they think the event/person would make a great movie or series, why the stories are important to tell, comparisons to popular movies/series the proposals could look like, and how history and real life really is stranger than fiction, not to mention much more interesting.

On this Best of Heard Tell, we revisit part of our conversation with Amanda Griffiths on the influence, legend, lies, and mythology of Machiavelli from history, in politics, and shaping pop culture.

From the episode:

So you might have heard tell of Machiavelli, or someone acting or accused of being Machiavellian in their dealings, schemings, and intentions, or the shadowy political powers of secret grand strategies to garner and wield power, or the using of evil to get what you want, or maybe as the moniker for 2Pac on his posthumous last album. Thing is, the real story of how a Renaissance-era Florentine politico became the father of modern political thought, philosophy, and what we now call political science. Amanda Griffiths returns to Heard Tell to turn down the noise on the controversy and influence of Machiavelli from how it was writing against his work The Prince that really drew interest to what is now one of the most widely known and influential political works ever. Amanda explains how the translations, culture of the day, and politics of the time are essential in understanding what Machiavelli was doing with The Prince and Discourses and why they became so popular long after he wrote them. From a who's who list of philosophers and world history figures, to the American founding fathers, to pop culture of today, we discuss what we should learn from Machiavelli, what he really meant, what is the truth among the conspiracy theories, and even work through some of those famous quotes and sayings that are attributed to him. Amanda Griffith takes on a deep dive into Machiavelli on this episode of the Heard Tell Podcast.

Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, 11 October, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we to discern the times we live in by having a grown folk talk about preparation, and how we should be judging our elected leaders and political/policy decisions based on how they hold up before, during, and after a crisis. We skip the hype and interwebs reaction to yet another viral robot video and explain why these made-for-fundraising clips are really trailers for movies that haven't been made yet and folks need to settle down. Our guest is friend of the program Gabriella Hoffman who uses her own background and heritage to explain how the success of the Baltic states since the fall of the Soviet Union is the counterpoint of what freedom can do compared to the oppression of Vladimir Putin-led Russia, how a knowledge of history should make us more discerning of the media narratives and debates surrounding Putin's illegal war in Ukraine, plus Gabriella talks conservation and lead policy, and comments on the viral story of the cheating fisherman. Finally, a missing piece of art thought to be worth tens of millions turns back up after decades of mystery since it was stolen.

All that and more on this Tuesday edition of Heard Tell.
