Sometimes the most fascinating histories out there aren’t the ones you’ll encounter in a classroom. They might be buried in an overcrowded archive, in the middle of a dense textbook, or in the darkest depths of an internet database. Problem is, most people these days just don’t have enough time on their hands to drop everything and go looking for them. That’s why 20 Minute History is here for you. It’s the new podcast that’s dedicated to broadcasting engaging stories of unfamiliar and misunderstood figures, concepts, and events, all in less time than it takes to make a delicious dinner. Each episode is crafted to be maximally informative, easily accessible, and most of all, fantastically entertaining.
