 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.37 Gnosticism

    Ep.37 Gnosticism
    2025/11/03
    Gnosticism was one of the most influential and controversial belief systems of the ancient world. In this episode, we trace its rise from early Christian and Hellenistic thought, its focus on secret knowledge and the struggle between spirit and matter, and the writings that defined it. From the Nag Hammadi texts to the fiery debates of church fathers who tried to suppress it, Gnosticism shaped philosophy, mysticism, and heresy for centuries. We also explore how echoes of Gnostic ideas survive in literature, spirituality, and modern culture, reminding us of humanity’s endless search for hidden truths.

  • Ep.36 Contact Lenses

    Ep.36 Contact Lenses
    2025/10/31
    From Leonardo da Vinci’s strange sketches to today’s high-tech smart lenses, contact lenses have come a long way. In this episode, we follow the story from the earliest glass shells that could barely be worn, through the rise of rigid plastic lenses, to the soft and disposable contacts that transformed vision care in the late twentieth century. Along the way we meet the inventors, the guinea pigs, and the fashion icons who helped turn a medical oddity into an everyday essential. Whether for clear sight, colored eyes, or even future technology, contact lenses continue to shape how we see the world.

  • Ep.35 The Great Pyramid of Giza

    Ep.35 The Great Pyramid of Giza
    2025/10/29
    Rising from the desert more than 4,500 years ago, the Great Pyramid of Giza remains one of the most astonishing achievements in human history. In this episode, we uncover how Pharaoh Khufu’s ambitious project turned into the largest stone monument ever built, the mysteries of its chambers and passageways, and the long afterlife of the pyramid as a target for looters, scholars, and tourists alike. From quarries and ramps to starlit alignments and modern scans, the Great Pyramid tells a story of engineering genius, cultural power, and the endurance of a wonder that refuses to fade.
