A podcast about the surprising, and surprisingly relevant, stories in history you didn’t even know that you didn’t know about! Join Simone - bookworm, history teacher and astonished-face-emoji fact collector - for a new nugget in each episode. I’ll also be spotlighting history books, podcasts, TV shows, films and exhibitions guaranteed to intrigue and inspire. This is a show for curious minds who know that the past perpetually illuminates, spurs on and haunts today’s world - and that there is always more to explore!
