About One Up The Annals

https://linktr.ee/oneuptheannals (https://linktr.ee/oneuptheannals) Welcome to The Annals Of Time Docuseries The Annals of Time is a cinematic narrative nonfiction docuseries that turns history, mystery, culture, crime, and the strange corners of the human story into immersive audio experiences. Hosted by Rab Greeson and featuring Victoria, The Annals of Time isn't a traditional conversational podcast. Every episode is researched, scripted, performed, and built around music, sound design, humor, and dramatic storytelling to make the past feel less like something being explained and more like something happening around you. One episode might descend into the tortured life of Edgar Allan Poe. Another might put Halloween on an autopsy table, trace the strange evolution of online dating, uncover how makeup became power and identity, or ask why something as simple as two people holding hands can carry thousands of years of meaning. The subjects change. The mission doesn't. Find the extraordinary hiding inside the familiar. Part documentary. Part storytelling. Part controlled chaos. History wasn't boring when it happened. We don't think it should sound boring now.
