b'A lie is only powerful if you choose to believe it. So why do we fall for it every time? In this episode, we\\u2019ll hear four different stories. Each describes a tall tale, so persistent, that it\\u2019s hard to imagine someone keeping all the lies straight in their head.\\n\\xa0\\nEach one of these stories reminds me of the movie The Truman Show. It seems like everyone I spoke with lived in a world carefully created just for them.\\n\\xa0\\nNow it\\u2019s time to ask you. Have you ever been lied to?
