Which podcast co-hosted by Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes re-examines misunderstood historical events?

The story behind the answer

The podcast co-hosted by Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes that re-examines misunderstood historical events is You’re Wrong About.

Marshall and Hobbes launched the show in May 2018, using research-heavy conversations to revisit scandals, public tragedies, and cultural figures whose reputations were shaped by misleading or sensational coverage. Episodes have examined the Challenger disaster, the O. J. Simpson trial, Kitty Genovese, Tonya Harding, Anna Nicole Smith, Yoko Ono, and Lorena Bobbitt.

The format often begins with one host describing what they vaguely remember, followed by a chronological investigation into the evidence and the media narratives surrounding it. That approach distinguishes the show from Reply All, which focused on internet culture, and from Hobbes’s later programs Maintenance Phase and If Books Could Kill.

Hobbes left the regular podcast in 2021, after which Marshall continued as host with guests. The original stored answer is still the canonical title and correctly matches the duo described in the question.
