No longer a yawn

The history of the world is expansive, and there often exists huge gaps in how we tell the story of milestones, civilisations and epic battles. Stuff You Missed in History Class is a podcast that delves into the unique aspects of history that are overlooked. Join Tracy B Wilson and Holly Frey as they talk about unicorns, Robert Cornelius's contribution to selfies and even a series of legendary prank stories from history. The conversations between the hosts are replete with humour, wit and a serious penchant for research that is beyond the grasp of your typical history class.

The stories in the podcast are largely focused on the West, and so they need to shed light on the rest of the world as well. Barring that shortcoming, this podcast has turned the concept of understanding history into a fun-filled exploration.
