We offer an entertaining look at some of the big issues in history by examining public apologies of the famous and infamous. We’re looking at politicians, serial killers, actors, and you! Send us an apology you would like to make and we’ll read it on the podcast and give you the chance to redeem yourself or just get some guilt off your shoulders. We’re here for you, once a week, maybe more if you are really, really sorry.

The word apology has come to mean “a way to repair damage for one’s own words or actions” but it started off as a legal term (we were legally required to explain that before making jokes). From ancient Greece to Cardinal Wolsey to Shakespeare, the word has changed over time, but one thing has remained constant: judgment. What makes a good apology? What makes a bad one? If someone says “sorry” are you obligated to accept their words and offer forgiveness?
Not Theo is traveling and Not Juliette is puppy training, so this week we reached into our vault of early unreleased episodes – here is a peek into the distant past of November 2020, where we discuss the genesis of the show and all things apology.
