About this listen

History Well Told is an aural palimpsest — a podcast that scrapes back the varnish of time and reads the faint, electric undertext. We’re time-sleuths and raconteurs: excavating forgotten protagonists, unspooling the tectonic moments that rewired civilization, and stepping into the liminal theatre where myth, memory, and politics collide. Expect immersive audio documentaries — textured soundscapes, rigorous scholarship, and human-centered narratives — each episode an act of analepsis that makes the past feel immediate, strange, and insistently alive.
