Credible/Incredible #1:
The Life and Times of Michel Thomas
A famous polyglot and language teacher, Michel Thomas laid claim to a number of remarkable exploits, from smuggling Jews out of Vichy France during World War 2 to discovering evidence that was instrumental in the Nuremberg Trials. But his life story wasn’t believed by everyone, and after losing a defamation lawsuit against a journalist who disputed his claims, Michel’s version of events was cast into doubt.
In this first episode of Credible/Incredible, Jim and James investigate Michel Thomas’ remarkable life story and try and answer the question: is he credible, or incredible?
