History Unwritten

My favorite history podcast! I so appreciate content about non-Western / European history as it’s neglected by other podcasts. The episodes are well written and the pacing is very good. I’ve learnt so much and feel such deep satisfaction at the end of each season. Highly recommend!

Too many ancient history shows in the Western world are obsessed with Egypt, Greece, and Rome as those are the only civilizations that matter. At times, you can get a bit of Japan, China, India or Mesoamerica here and there, but good luck finding anything else. History Unwritten has already expanded my horizons, and I'm eager to listen to the next seasons about the pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas.

It’s difficult to find high quality, researched podcasts on non mainstream history. The “big” regions and powers are largely covered. This podcast achieves its mission of providing excellent content on these less covered places and powers.

As I write this review, the first series on Mali has concluded, and I am very impressed with the in-depth research, easy to follow narrative and relaxing presentation style. All and all, Mali was a fascinating ride, and I can’t wait to hear the story of Tibet and beyond!
