• 146 (Young Guns with Chris Wimmer): It came to our attention the version of this episode on YouTube cuts off at the 44m 49s mark. The episode should be 01h 05m 05s. Since YouTube doesn't allow replacing a video, the old version has been removed and a new one uploaded. For posterity, you can view the broken version and its comments here: https://youtu.be/fHi35Qfg7V4

• 141 v12 (Tolkien with John Garth): The introduction erroneously referred to John Garth's book as "one of the best biographies" of J.R.R. Tolkien's life during World War I. It is, in fact, the only biography covering this time. As such, the change to mentioning it as "the definitive account."
• 141 v12 (Tolkien with John Garth): Also, John pointed out two small mistakes in his answers. He erroneously said Mabel Tolkien died of tuberculosis when she passed from diabetes. Change is to removed the reference to tuberculosis.
• 141 v12 (Tolkien with John Garth): He also included the name "Balin" in the list of Norse mythology terms, but it is not. Change is to remove that from the list.

• 03 v3 (The Imitation Game): A listener pointed out that we accidentally said Bletchley Park was located in Germany, then went on to talk about how it was located in England. Oops. Since that's one of the first episodes for BOATS and my recording process has evolved since then, recording a single line would be obvious. We have re-recorded and re-produced the entire episode.

• 56 v5 (The Experiment): New evidence has come to light that suggests the Stanford Prison Experiment wasn't what we thought for decades. More on this. For this episode, we added a quick update to the beginning to acknowledge the new evidence.

• 59 v5 (Tombstone): Fixed edit error that omitted the explanation of Great Depression and Long Depression dates were the contraction and not the entire depression. Added further clarification as well and cleaned up audio a bit further.
• 54 v3 (Men of Honor): Added qualifiers to clarify Carl as first African-American deep-sea diver in the U.S. Navy instead of just the first diver. Added reference of John Henry "Dick" Turpin, who was an earlier African-American diver in the Navy.
