We can't navigate safely to the future unless we understand what lies behind us. That's why the move by cowardly politicians to limit the history we're taught is so inexcusable. Sanitized hero worship does not move us forward. Enter Mike's new podcast, the irreverent Prick the Balloon. It features Mike deflating popular myths and telling history that's true, complete, impertinent, well-researched and fun. It's a look at our real past, wherever that might lead us. Learning lasts a lifetime, and it might as well be enjoyable. Remember, anyone who says they don't like history just had a shitty history teacher.
