In the new season of
The Audit, Dave and Josh take a big leap into the astounding world of PragerU, a right-wing propaganda machine that aspires to become a force in American education. This first episode, which delves into PragerU’s approach to world history and foreign affairs, features guest Daniel Bessner, an associate professor of International Studies at the University of Washington and co-host of the
American Prestige podcast. The three discuss PragerU’s revisionist understanding of topics like the
British Empire, the
Cold War, and the
Vietnam War, as well as the importance of education and expertise in shaping our understanding of history and the world around us.
