We ask what other podcasts won’t. We go deeper.

Using extensive research, on-site interviews with expert historians, interpretive guides, authors, and archeologists, we bring you into the overlooked, misunderstood, and too often forgotten details of events.  During each 40-minute episode, you’ll accompany us as we explore how history happened where history happened.

Combining his own passion for studying historical events with the belief that truth is more fascinating than myth, program host Mike Bates uses over forty-six years of experience as a radio professional and journalist to ask the questions the experts want to answer but are rarely asked to discuss.  We reveal what really happened – the who, the how, and the why.
