Welcome to the Forgotten News podcast. This is your window to hear true stories from long ago. Stories that once made headlines. Stories that people thought would be unforgettable, but soon were lost in the sands of time, or were buried deep in the dustbin of history. In this podcast, we brush off the sand and dust, and share those stories with you, today — as fresh as when they were first told.

Customer Reviews
Congrats on 5 years!
I started with the Mingo-Kabiska episode and it blew my mind! I loved listening to the old timey radio show. It was a great way to celebrate the podcast’s 5th anniversary. I’ll be binge listening to the back catalogue now for sure!
I like it!
This podcast is not like what I usually listen to. It has a different format and story telling style than anything I've heard but I find the uniqueness is it's strength. The topics are not what you hear all the time and that's refreshing.
Interesting Topics & Quality Storytelling
I have been listening to this podcast for the last few months now and while they do occasionally have an errant audio crackle/fuzziness to them- this is not your average studio show. This is a fantastic retelling of historical news stories brought to life by solid research presented by Jim, Kit, and on occasion, Jessica- with wonderful clips and drops recorded from guest contributors. Taken in as the sum of it’s parts, this is a marvelous way to hear interesting content, and to learn new things. I personally thought the recent 7/31 “Swimming Pool” episode was fantastic. To quote President Obama- “Don’t let ‘perfect’ be the enemy of good” - and in telling you that- this is a good* podcast, and well worth listening to.
