Speaker 1: Imagine there's a place in our world where the known
Speaker 1: things go, the stuff everybody knows common knowledge. Hi, this
Speaker 1: is Myron Taxman from Encyclopedia Britannica. You sent in for
Speaker 1: some information and I was in the area here, so
Speaker 1: I thought i'd stop by and show you what we have.
Speaker 1: I'm Jilllapour, host of The Last Archive. For the past
Speaker 1: two seasons, I've been down here trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what happened to truth and why it seems so hard

Speaker 1: about frauds and liars, but this season I wanted to
Speaker 1: meet the good guys. What does a fact start there
Speaker 1: amongst your table? And how do you know when something
Speaker 1: is true? Discuss like high school teachers and their students,
Speaker 1: Encyclopedia salesman, and of course public librarians. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love this story so much. This season of The
Speaker 1: Last Archive, we're celebrating common knowledge, looking for the solutions
Speaker 1: the anti dute one crazy thing, it's gonna say, the
Speaker 1: other crazy thing, knowledge that ties communities together. That's a
Speaker 1: strange topic to spend the evening talking about with the

Speaker 1: week and a half, we'll go back to school talk

Speaker 1: comes to this, the end. This is like, this is
Speaker 1: the original. This is where the known things go, the
Speaker 1: last archive. Listen this fall wherever you get your pot
