A podcast that unearths the true stories of objects. Your host, Thatcher Warrick Hess, is a linguist, historian and a collector. Thatcher will take you on the investigative journey to find out when the object was made - and who may have owned it.
EP 21 - Breaking News • Bulletin • Buffalo [Part 1] is a pilot for the fourth season of Object Obscura that will look a little different. This season will only focus on one object, a photograph in a slide taken in 1942. The contents of the photo turn me to talk to a historian, an antique shop worker and an suicide outreach program director.
Theme song for Object Obscura is ‘Behind the Walls’ by Nathanie
Voice over done by Kevin Orduño

EP 20 - Physicist • Fortress • Family [ENGLISH]
In this episode we travel to a factory that made objects over 200 years ago. An industrious complex in the northeast of Brazil built between 1804 and 1808 has baffled archeologists for over 100 years. It all started when a Portuguese physicist arrived in São Luís in 1799. In this episode we will hear the stories from the family that takes care of the 19th century ruins.
Thank you to Flaviomiro Mendonça, Fernando Mendonça and Laura Mendonça.
