Pinks Are the New Black
Kate Warne might not be a name that you‘re familiar with, but without her, this country would look very different. Certainly, there might not even be a ”United” States at all. Join me as I explore how one woman revolutionized an entire industry, proved the many merits of her gender, and saved a President from dying before he could ever set foot in the White House.

Justice for Rock Doves
Rats with Wings. Flying Disease Carriers. These are just two of the unjust names given to Pigeons today. But for centuries, Pigeons were humanity‘s constant companions and messengers.

Strength Knows No Gender
She's been called several names and been the inspiration for even more. Her name was Khutulun, and she lived her life on her own terms. Not bad for a woman from the late 13th Century living in the Mongol Empire. Men challenged her for the right to marry her, but none succeeded. Find out just how she managed to avoid betrothal for much of her life on this, the first episode of Season 2!
Customer Reviews
Fun Listening
Haunting Historia is a great way to hear about some little known history. It’s fun, short and informative. I love listening to Aidan Mayne’s deep voice! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Awesome!
This is an excellent podcast. Aiden Mayne has a deep and even toned voice and pronounces each word clearly and succinctly. He talks about subjects which are new and fresh for the unusual history fans. The sound quality is excellent and balanced. Its also easy to work on house work or cook food while listening to Haunted Historia. I highly recommend!
Absolutely Fantastic!
This podcast is great! The episodes or short, so if I zone out (which happens a lot) I don't feel like I've missed out on a huge chunk of the episode. That also helps with backtracking to where I left off. Aidan Mayne's delivery is really engaging and easy to listen to. Plus, his topics so far have all been really fascinating! I love the use of different quotes in each episode. I'm really looking forward to listening more!
