The History Of... is a storytelling podcast, that goes deep into the hidden, forgotten and ignored lives and world events that happened in history, that you probably never even heard of before. For example, we tell stories of the Middle Ages, the Ottoman Empire, Native Americans and Africans before the Atlantic slave trade and before colonialism, the first newspaper run by African Americans in the 1880s and the story of Gwendolyn Brooks the first black female poet to win a Pulitzer Prize. We tell stories that are educational, entertaining, emotional and mind-blowing for your listening pleasures.
