Podcasts for the History Peeps

Picture
I'm somewhat of a history buff, especially interesting little tidbits that I missed in college 101.  As a 46 yo (happy bday to me;), I also have an appreciation for learning from the past I didn't have as a late teen.  So, for those of you out there who share my love for all things in the rearview mirror, here are some podcast recs.  Varying from true crime to hidden historical gems, these shows cover the spectrum.  Have fun exploring!  If you have a rec, please leave it in the comments.

  • 1619-In August of 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia.  America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began.  No aspect of the country that would. be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed.  
  • American Shadows-Focuses on the darker stories from American History: the people, places, and things that are hidden and forgotten in the shadows.  From better-known tales like the conspiracy to steal Lincoln's body, to less-known stories, like the rainmaker who flooded San Diego.
