Hello everyone,
My name is Lucas and my co-host Jake and I hope to provide you with a unique look at the stories and people that you thought you knew. Each week, we tackle a new historical figure and we examine the popular opinions surrounding that figure and we analyze whether those opinions are fair and historically accurate.
Amongst, all of the historical analysis is a good deal of silliness and it is not unusual for the podcast to get a little off track at times. Overall, we hope to provide you with a nice blend of silliness and relevant historical discussion.
We hope you enjoy our podcast!
