A laid back history podcast where we explore everything from ancient empires to awkward royal scandals. Each episode, we pick a topic, dig into the weird, wild, and sometimes world-changing details, and try to make sense of it all, without taking ourselves too seriously. Whether you’re a history newbie or just here for the strange facts, come and tune in!
