There are 2652 episodes in the History topic.

These are the latest episodes from the History topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

Episode 42: Bears!
^{00:30:05 | April 15th, 2020}

Join Mick Sullivan for a story about the first bear in Theodore Roosevelt’s life, a bear named Jonathan Edwards, and then the second bear in his life – one which gave rise to a cuddly creature in your bedroom.

Hedy Lamarr read by Tatiana Maslany
^{April 7th, 2020}

Growing up in Austria-Hungary, Hedy Lamarr had two great passions: acting and inventing. She’s best known for her work in Hollywood, stunning American audiences with her beauty and compelling dramatic talents. But recently she’s earned recognition for her technological contributions as well. She and her friend, the composer George Antheil, received a patent for radio-frequency technology that is now valued at over 300 Billion dollars. Because of Hedy, your family can safely send secure text messages and access WIFI.

Get to Know Ruth Reichl
^{00:07:23 | Season: 3 | Episode: 4 | March 31st, 2020}

This season, we invited our credit readers to interview our storytellers. Today, you’ll hear from Ruth Reichl who narrated the previous episode about Julia Child. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, now is a good time to go back and check it out. Ruth reveals how her partner supported her when she had career opportunities and her desired last meal!

Julia Child read by Ruth Reichl
^{00:21:26 | Season: 3 | Episode: 3 | March 24th, 2020}

Once upon a time, there was a towering girl who would inspire a culinary revolution in America. Her name was Julia. Julia was a spy during World War II, but when she met her husband abroad–she withheld one important secret: she did not know how to cook. She soon enrolled as the first woman to attend Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. She learned how to cook delicious food, bake extravagant cakes, and create tasty recipes. Julia changed the face of cooking in America forever.

Bonus: Las Maestras
^{08:48 | Season: 1 | March 10th, 2020}

A bonus episode featuring moments with women teachers: Celestina Cordero, Lolita Tizol, and Monsi Román’s fictional teacher, Señora Ramirez.

Episode 41: OK BLOOMER!
^{00:33:15 | March 10th, 2020}

Amelia Bloomer helped change the world with a pair of underpants (which she didn’t even invent). Among other things, it helped women ride bikes, and this led to a new independence in the late 1800’s. Many women (even Susan B. Anthony) said the bike had more to to with women’s independence than nearly anything else. So Melinda Beck is going to tell you her original telling of Tillie Anderson, a true life, turn-of-the-century bicycle racer (“scorchers” in the day) who might have been the fastest woman in America! Be sure to check out our Kids Listen Friends, including Timestorm and Girl Tales, for their Women’s History episodes this month!

30. Ned Kelly v Billy the Kid: who wins?
^{22:37 | March 7th, 2020}

WARNING – in this pod you will hear about gunfights and people getting shot and killed. It was all 150 years ago, but very young kids might not want to hear about it. Most of our episodes are for everyone, and we will return to a lighter topic next month, with something for kids of all ages.
