History's B-Side

Summary: History is full of amazing stories and memorable people... but we don’t care about them. Every week, we're breaking down history's biggest moments and the forgotten people who made them happen. We're not historians. We're just two regular people who enjoy a great story and plenty of laughs. This is History's B-Side. History's B-Side is an independent, listener-supported podcast.
