It's Radical History, baby!


Eleisha Kennedy (Ellie), Charlotte Everett (Charlie) are Public Historians that deep dive into the most rebellious corners of British and Irish history, uncovering how change is effected through the ages, for better or worse! History is never straightforward, black and white, or neat....it's nuanced, messy and spicy - full of rogues, rebels and misfits, the characters we love best! Join us to uncover extraordinary stories, often from the most ordinary places, exactly the way the history books don't want you to. So Rise Up, Rebel and take back history!
