Historium Unearthia: Unearthing History's Lost and Untold Stories
Have you ever heard of Louis Congo? What about the forgotten Downwinders or The Devil’s Bible? These are just a few examples of people, events, and things from our past that have been lost to time. They’re important in the greater context of our understanding of the world and how our past shaped our present, yet they never made it into history books. In this bi-weekly podcast, freelance journalist, Crystal Ponti, digs up extraordinary excerpts of forgotten history, bringing her passion and love of storytelling to each episode. Recently honored as one of the best history podcasts of 2018 (Uproxx), listeners have likened “Historium Unearthia” to “60 Minutes” and said, “Crystal’s narration is concise and enrapturing, and the production value of her stories holds the audience’s attention like only the best of radio programs. She delivers interesting and entertaining stories from the lost parts of history, and, not only does she unearth them, she brings them to life.”

As someone who's recently gotten into learning about history, this podcast is the perfect one to rely on. Beautifully produced, written, and performed, Crystal does an excellent job relaying information and making the subject matter very interesting. I look forward to every episode and cannot recommend this podcast enough!
Pronunciation Errors Abound

A nice podcast with interesting information, but goodness, the narrator needs to check her pronunciation of key terms or names. For example, “Gaugin” is not pronounced “Gog-oh-winn” but “Goh-gann”. Also, it is “Protestantism” and not “Protestism”. These kinds of errors dampen the erudite listener’s enjoyment of the material.
Awesome!
