I haven't kept a list, so aside from my own personal story, I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, I just know that there have been a lot of them. I'm thinking of when they discussed big stories or controversies like Kyle Rittenhouse or Amy Cooper (I'm not saying these ones necessarily) that I've done a deep dive on myself, and know the details very well even years later, I've often noticed errors, sometimes significant ones.

Very unsatisfying answer I know. I'm sure if I went back and listened to a bunch of episodes I could make a list, but I don't care enough to do that.

And again I think he's very honest, and wouldn't hesitate to make a correction if pointed out to him, at least if it was a big enough one.

I suppose this is one of the downsides of going independent, as humans we’re bound to get details wrong here and there and without a team to catch errors (and even they don’t always catch them), some are inevitably going to slip through the cracks.

To quote Thomas Sowell,

“There are no solutions, only tradeoffs”

I think your point that he makes mistakes, but they are typically honest mistakes captures Jesse well.
