Historium

From the very moment i heard the 1st episode i could tell i had found a kindred spirit. Someone who also looked at shining moments on our long journey here and felt awe, respect, and wonder. The Speaker clearly resonates with the very real people that he explores and sees them for what they are, good or bad, GIANTS. Monolyths of the human story and our species' most infamous children. Their stories show us the enourmous lengths we can go to, the Invictus Anima of our ancestors, and that no matter how vast the gap of time between us, we are all of one blood. We are Human Beings and this podcast is our love letter to ourselves. Cannot recommend enough!

Discovered the show in searching for a history/overview of Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project when I happened upon the Historium: Atomic Dawn series...wow! The writing is phenomenal, they managed to fit such a great breadth of material, created a really engaging story arc and knocked it out of the park. So impressed...and also so personally enriched by their work. Thank you!! Also great in citing their marvelous sources, a few of which I plan to pick-up including the book about the heavy water production site sabotage...should be a movie. Thank you SO much for what is clearly a labor of love, and investing heart and soul!!!

incredible depth and breadth of topics, and really compelling narration. so many of these stories have the drama and intensity of like an hbo miniseries.

Historium is the exact history podcast I want to exist in the world. Well written, gripping, fun, interesting and read with the perfect tone and cadence. Loved the Andean Gambit and the first episode of Atomic Dawn is excellent so far. Can’t wait for more!
