We seek to do just that and examine the fact and fiction behind some of history’s most interesting legends, myths, folklore, and conspiracies. By the end of each episode, we want our audience to answer the question: is it a mystery or is it history? Featuring expert historical opinions, exciting new pieces of evidence, and fascinating perspectives and commentary...this series seeks to unravel the past and provide real insight into the mysteries that shaped our reality. Featuring two dynamic co-hosts from uniquely different backgrounds as well as alternating guests, each episode is a near hour of non-stop storytelling perfect for casual listeners and hardcore historians alike.
