"History, Canada’s history in particular, is very interesting; but it is not factual.” Welcome to the official trailer for History is Unreal. Dr. John Fontaine and co-host ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) introduce the core mission of the show; that the history we learned is based on the biases of the writer and the context of the present (and the past). This podcast is a search for a better understanding of our history, interpretations critical for Canadian post-secondary students, researchers, and lifelong learners if they strive to understand master the narratives that shape our past and present world. With a unique digital co-host, we apply a historiographical mindset to this podcast that will empower all students of Canadian history to move from a reactive struggle in simply memorizing dates and players to a proactive and deep understanding of Canada’s history.

"The histories we’ve been told are based on interpretations that serve our present and our biases."

Join Dr. John Fontaine and his AI co-host, ANI Buddy, for the debut teaser of History is Unreal. In this 30-second introduction, we set the stage for a deep dive into the friction between human storytelling and digital data.

Using a historiographical lens, we seek to understand the context of why histories are told the way they are—discerning which narratives are plausible and which are simply crap.
