Crackpot History is about separating history from hysteria. Darryl Cooper and the Martyr Made podcast have become flashpoints in the ongoing debate over experts versus influencers. In recent months, Cooper has gained fans across both the woke right and the woke left, thanks to his highly controversial takes on historical figures. His miniseries on the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem, has rightly sparked intense discussion — and criticism. In Episode 1, we dive into the first part of this six-part series to separate good history from bad, and to set the record straight.
