Dana Schwartz

In this episode, Dana Schwartz, host of the Hoax and Noble Blood podcast, dives into the dark legacy of Alexandre Villaplane, a once-celebrated French football star who turned into an SS enforcer during the Nazi occupation. The discussion unveils his transformation from an athlete to a figure of moral decay, framed against the complexities of French-Algerian history. They also explore the psychology of hoaxes and misinformation while humorously examining the nuances of sports villains. It's a fascinating blend of history, sports, and ethical dilemmas.

We want to play a game. This week, Dana Schwartz stuffs us in an iron maiden and explains why the most famous Medieval torture devices are none of the above. Digressions include the Kings Cross Wax Museum, getting stabbed in the butt, and the pivot to video era.Links to stuff discussed within: 5 Of The Most Gruesome Medieval Torture Devices [Buzzfeed]Sutton hoo artifact [1]Sutton hoo artifact [2]Coat of shame [1]Coat of shame [2]Here's where to find Dana:Noble Blood [podcast] and Anatomy, A Love Story [novel]Support us:Bonus Episodes on PatreonDonate on PaypalBuy cute merchWhere else to find us:Sarah's other show, You Are Good [YWA co-founder] Mike's other show, Maintenance PhaseLinks:http://noblebloodtales.comhttp://www.danaschwartzdotcom.com/books.htmlhttp://patreon.com/yourewrongabouthttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/youre-wrong-abouthttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/yourewrongaboutpodhttps://www.podpage.com/you-are-goodhttp://maintenancephase.com—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Se3knPozM&ab_channel=BuzzFeedVideohttps://www.britishmuseum.org/sites/default/files/styles/uncropped_medium/public/2019-10/gold-belt-buckle-sutton-hoo-british-museum-1000-500.jpg?itok=Tz1nO2MRhttps://www.britishmuseum.org/sites/default/files/styles/uncropped_medium/public/2019-10/Purse%20lid%20from%20the%20ship-burial%20at%20Sutton%20Hoo%2C%20British%20Musem.jpg?itok=Ggs9B9_Yhttps://www.ancient-origins.net/sites/default/files/Coat-of-Shame.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Spansk_kappe_%282%29.jpg/440px-Spansk_kappe_%282%29.jpgSupport the show
