Why do we believe what we believe? Why do we fall for scams, conspiracy theories, and cult leaders? Are diamonds really forever? When did they take the cocaine out of Coca-Cola, and why? Greg Olear brings in Aja Raden, author of the newly-released book “The Truth About Lies,” to answer these and other burning questions. Plus: an exciting new employment opportunity at the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
