Through-Line goes beyond the headlines to answer the one question that never stops mattering: How did we get here? We drop you into the rooms where history happened — recovering forgotten figures, tracing ancient civilizations, and uncovering the decisions, accidents, and ambitions that quietly redirected the course of human events. Because nothing comes from nowhere, and once you understand where we've been, the world you're living in starts to look entirely different.
