The Sinister Left

In this episode, Chris takes Marnee through a deeply ingrained belief around something considered innocuous today - the idea of the right hand versus the left. For millennia, our association of the left side, hand or way with evil and immorality. This belief crept into our religions, spiritual outlooks, languages, and even societal policy, impacting the lives of many left-handed people well into the latter parts of the 20th century. All based off of superstition around something as basic as what hand you favor. Researched, written, and edited by: Chris Setty Performed by: Chris and Marnee Setty Theme Music: Slow Fade by Thörr
