Podcasts on Podio

Go back in time with Podio. We’ve trawled the best content and dug up a fine collection of history podcasts to educate and entertain.

You’re Wrong About

This is the perfect podcast for that friend or colleague who reckons they know everything about everything but in fact is a bit clueless. Or indeed for yourself on the rare occasion your omniscience fails! Either way this excellent podcast looks at topics and events we all think we know about but it turns out there’s more to the story than we ever realized!

You’re Dead To Me

Some history podcasts can be a little dry and dusty, something that could never be said about You’re Dead To Me! Greg Jenner hosts this great podcast which brings together experts and comedians to get to the bottom of historical events in a knowledgeable AND importantly, an enjoyable way. It’s one of the top 5 favorite podcasts of any genre in the Podio office.

We Have Ways of Making You Talk

A comedian and an historian team up in this podcast to share their love of all things World War Two. With over 400 episodes in the can Al Murray and James Holland have forged a lasting and successful partnership.

The Rest Is History

Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook are historians with a mission: to cover the whole of human history, roughly 50 minutes at a time.  By asking questions about the past we can, perhaps, learn much for the present. This podcast will go down in history as one of the best.

Lore

This podcast is so good it was made into a TV show! That certainly got our attention. History is not always a bed of roses and the people behind Lore are all about the darker side. As they love to say, “sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction”, and that’s certainly the case as they investigate mysterious creatures, tragic events and the more unusual side of history. At over 300 episodes and still counting it is a podcast with its own great history.

History Extra Podcast

Podcasts are one of the best ways to entertain and educate yourself. History Extra Podcast comes from the makers of one of the best-selling history magazines in the world, the BBC History Magazine. But as you cannot read a magazine while driving your car or taking a shower, they produce this excellent podcast. Essential listening.
