Hello and welcome to this very special bonus episode of Our Fake History.

My name is Sebastian Major and as you know this is the podcast where we explore historical

myths and try to determine what's fact, what's fiction and what is such a good story that

it simply must be told.

Now I know what you're thinking.

Sebastian, what is this all about?

Why are you dropping a surprise bonus episode on us?

Well, this is one of those embarrassing situations where I need to make a correction.

Now sometimes when the corrections are small I'll throw it into the next show but this

time I made enough of a club that I thought it required a whole bonus episode to address.

I hate it when this happens.

This wasn't just a classic Sebastian Major mispronunciation.

This was a missed historical myth.

Now as you know, I really want this show to be as accurate as possible and I want my listeners

to be able to trust me but I do make mistakes.

So whenever I really put my foot in it, I feel like it's only right for me to fess up

and make a proper correction and while I eat some humble pie, the listeners are rewarded

with a little extra content.

Now hopefully this little penance will restore some of your faith in me or at least to

assure you that I'm not trying to put one over on you.

This stuff happens pretty rarely.

Long time listeners will know that I've only had to do this one other time in the five
