History of the World – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Toss the dusty textbooks right in the garbage! Welcome to History of the World, the action-packed podcast uncovering the mind-blowing, unvarnished truth behind the biggest events in human history. Made specifically for curious kids (especially ages 8–14), this show brings the past to life with dramatic storytelling, plenty of laughs, and the unvarnished truth about the past. From ancient empires and epic battles to wild inventions and world-changing revolutions, we skip the boring memorization and focus on the real, highly flawed, and deeply fascinating people who actually lived it, and events that shaped it. If it changed the globe, we are going to talk about it!

For our inaugural series, we are kicking things off with the leaders of the free world: the US Presidents. In these bite-sized, 10-to-15-minute episodes, we are busting myths and diving into the bizarre, heroic, and downright messy lives of the commanders-in-chief. Did you know George Washington was a tough-as-nails frontiersman who accidentally started a global war? Or that John Adams was an incredibly obnoxious bulldog of a lawyer whose wife, Abigail, was secretly his smartest political weapon? Join us for Season 1 as we journey from the wild frontier with Washington all the way to the brink of the Civil War. Subscribe now and discover the epic (and sometimes hilarious) stories of the people who shaped our world!
