Famous figures. Forgotten stories - a history podcast that brings them back. Welcome to the Almost Immortal History Podcast. This show brings to life the stories of fascinating people who were famous in their day and accomplished amazing things, but over time they have not been immortalized in the same way as an Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Amelia Earhart or Winston Churchill – but their stories and impact on all of us are equally worth appreciating, understanding and enjoying.

    Asa Candler: Coca-Cola - Episode 1

    There are very few people in the world today who have not heard of Coca-Cola, let alone many who haven’t consumed one themselves. Though as famous as the product is, many might not know the person most responsible for making it one of the most recognized brands in the world. Founding one of the most iconic products in history would be more than enough to cement a legacy for most, but this innovative entrepreneur and deeply religious and devoted family man sought to ensure his success wo...

    Hannibal Hamlin - Episode 1

    Many of us know the story of the assassination of American President Abraham Lincoln and the failure of his Vice President and successor, Andrew Johnson, the first American President to be impeached by Congress and to come within one vote of removal from office. Though many might not know the story of the man who was Vice President just one month earlier for Lincoln’s first term in office. A man wholly different in character and values that almost surely would have set the course...

    Eunice Carter - Part 1

    Many of us know the stories of famous criminals like Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde or the famous lawmen who helped bring them to justice. Though many might not know the story of the lawyer who was most responsible for brining down the most powerful mob boss in the world, Lucky Luciano, making the streets of New York safer and nearly propelling her boss to the American Presidency. This story would be remarkable regardless of who it was about, but because this particular lawyer was one of the onl...

    Nancy Wake Part 2

    Thanks for joining us for the second and final part of the Nancy Wake story. When we left off in part one, Wake had traveled an unlikely path to becoming a wealthy socialite in France and an even unlikelier path as a leader in the French and British resistance efforts in World War II. Now, as the stakes increase, Wake will have to make difficult choices that will put her in even greater danger but will see her legend grow and her contributions to the Allied war effort become legendary.&...
