Mickey begins the show with a conversation with academic colleague John Corbally; 

their topic is "Why History Matters." Corbally has just completed a new textbook 

on 20th Century history, one that endeavors to include the perspectives of third-world 

nations, and of everyday people, rather than only the deeds of leaders and elites.

 

In the second half-hour, Chase Palmieri rejoins the program as a guest,

to offer an update on the latest developments at Credder.com, a web site

that offers its users the ability to rate media outlets' coverage of news stories.

 

John Corbally teaches history at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California.

His new book is "The Twentieth Century World, 1914 to the Present," from Bloomsbury Press.

Chase Palmieri cohosts the Project Censored Show, and is a co-founder of Credder.com
