The History Of...
For people who were bad at history but not too proud to Google it now. This isn’t the history podcast for experts. It’s for the rest of us: the curious, the confused, the ones who zoned out during school but still wonder who invented the fork or why people used to put arsenic in their face cream. Each episode takes one thing an object, a place, a job, a trend and unpacks the weird, messy, often ridiculous story behind it. Just history for people who ask questions late at night and want answers that don’t feel like homework. You might actually enjoy it, and it's enough to make you feel clever at work...for a change.

  • Ep.5 The Necronomicon

    Ep.5 The Necronomicon
    Aug 20 2025
    Part forbidden tome, part literary invention, the Necronomicon has haunted the worlds of horror, conspiracy, and occult lore for nearly a century. Born from the imagination of writer H. P. Lovecraft, this so-called “book of the dead” has taken on a life of its own — inspiring hoaxes, movie props, and genuine occult practices. In this episode of The History Of, we explore the origins of the Necronomicon, how fiction blurred into “fact,” and why people still want to believe in a book that was never meant to exist.

  • Ep.4 Snake Oil

    Ep.4 Snake Oil
    Aug 18 2025
    Once the symbol of fraud and false promises, “snake oil” wasn’t always a scam. In fact, it started as a genuine medicinal remedy brought to America by Chinese laborers in the 1800s. So how did a legitimate treatment become shorthand for quackery? In this episode of The History Of, we uncover the real story behind snake oil, from railroad workers and traveling salesmen to patent medicine empires and modern-day miracle cures.

    Ep.3 Atlantis
    Aug 15 2025

Was it a real city swallowed by the sea, a cautionary tale invented by Plato, or something stranger entirely? In this episode of The History Of, we dive into the myth’s ancient origins, its many reinterpretations through the centuries, and the modern-day quests to find the lost city.
