History Podcast - Stuff You Missed in History Class

I was wandering around the Internet today when I discovered this podcast in the comments section of the NaNoWriMo Facebook page. The title intrigued me, and so I clicked on a podcast, curious to see what they would talk about.

This podcast is amazing.

Normally, I'm not a podcast person. But if you haven't listened to Stuff You Missed in History Class, then you're missing out. They have something to interest everyone - from African History to Pirates to World War II. I listened to two really great podcasts, one on Sophia Dorothea of Celle, the wife of George I of England, and another on Lucrezia Borgia, the daughter of Pope Alexander VI. Both of these women were fascinating to me, not only because they were technically royalty, but also because I had never really heard much about them before. I really want to know more about both of them - especially Sophia Dorothea and her family, because the early Hanovers seem really quite interesting.

Go check out this podcast! It's a great podcast, and one that will really surprise you with how much you learn.
