History is full of amazing stories and memorable people... but we don’t care about them. Every week, we're breaking down history's biggest moments and the forgotten people who made them happen. We're not historians. We're just two regular people who enjoy a great story and plenty of laughs. This is History's B-Side.
History's B-Side is an independent, listener-supported podcast. Support the show: https://historysbside.com/support
In which guest host Trey tells the story of Dmitry I of Russia and the various people who impersonated him in an effort to claim the Russian throne, Phil takes the rare opportunity to make a movie reference, and we reinforce the idea that politics really haven't changed much over time.
