Podcast Overview

Immersive historical storytelling — where the past doesn't stay quiet. Some places never let go of what happened there. Neither do the stories. Relics of the Past is a narrative and podcast exploring the forgotten histories of America — the people history tried to erase, the places that still hold the weight of the past, and the questions that three centuries of silence haven't managed to answer. Each episode draws on primary historical sources, first-hand accounts, and deep regional research to bring a single story back to life. What you'll find is something rarer: history told honestly, with all the human weight it actually carries — and the quiet, persistent suggestion that the past is never quite as finished with us as we'd like to believe. Hosted by Cheryl, founder of Relics of the Past. New episodes release seasonally on all major platforms. Immersive historical storytelling — where the past doesn't stay quiet.

The Gothic Jail - The Tragedy at the TOP of the Stairs

Deep in the heart of a small Louisiana town sits a building that simply doesn't look like it belongs—a striking, century-old structure with sharp peaks and dark, gothic arches looming right over the courthouse square. They call it the Hanging Jail, a place built around a massive central spiral staircase that holds secrets most people only dare to whisper about. From the legendary, tragic events of 1928 to the chilling generations of jailers' families who lived directly alongside the cells, this isn't just an empty historic site; it's a living archive of intense emotion, unexplainable footsteps, and lingering echoes. If you have ever wanted to step right out of your ordinary routine and experience the heavy, gripping energy of the mid-Atlantic's dark history up close, you might want to stand at the bottom of that staircase—just promise us one thing when you get there: don't look up.

Columbus - Hero or Villan?

In 1504, Christopher Columbus was stranded in Jamaica, his crew mutinous and his indigenous hosts refusing to feed him. So he consulted an almanac, gathered the tribal leaders — and told them God was going to devour the moon as punishment for their refusal. Three days later, the blood moon rose exactly as he predicted. They believed him. They brought food. Columbus sailed home. This is the Columbus story they left out of the textbook — and it's only one of them.
