History builds the present. Where we are today is a result of where we have been. Yet, some of the stories that got us here have remained in the shadows. And the true stories of the people and inventions that have built our world are often lost to time. Our only hope for building a better future is to truly understand what got us to the present. From the famous, to the infamous, to the never heard of, these are the unknown backstories of people who have changed the world. In Season 8, award-winning actor Alec Baldwin uncovers the little known backstories of veterans who have built companies, products, and brands that have changed the way we live.
Customer Reviews
I really love this show!
This show is really fun and reminds of listening to Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story with my dad when I was a kid. Great writing, great talent (Jeffrey Wright!!), and the perfect length make these inspiring stories truly bingeable.
Enjoyed until repeats started & new narrator
The stories are interesting and inspirational. Loved the angle of not revealing the name until the end. Definitely appreciate having some short length podcasts to enjoy that fit well into my available timeframes. Unfortunately, must now unsubscribe the more and more the Hollywood elitist and ill informed narrator Jeffrey Wright comments against the country publicly.
Compelling biographies, exceptional storytelling
Concise and engaging, each episode is a short but inspiring journey into some of our greatest thinkers and doers. I feel like I’ve watched an inspiring biopic after listening- a great way to energize and recharge your own passions!
