À propos de ce contenu audio

Ever wonder about the bizarre details that textbooks leave out? Welcome to "Footnotes of the Past," the podcast that uncovers history's strangest, most overlooked tales hiding in plain sight.

Each week, we dive into the peculiar corners of human history to bring you extraordinary stories that somehow slipped through the cracks. From the emperor who declared war on Neptune and ordered his soldiers to stab the sea, to the dancing plague that swept through medieval Europe, to the forgotten genius whose inventions changed the world but whose name you've never heard.

"Footnotes of the Past" isn't about the history you learned in school—it's about everything they didn't teach you. Join us as we explore the weird, wonderful, and occasionally disturbing tales that conventional history brushed aside.

Subscribe now to discover the stories that history forgot, but we remembered. New episodes every Friday. RSSVERIFY
