About People Hidden In History

These podcast episodes are a collection of historical characters that history has either forgotten or recorded very little of their incredible lives. Some of these people I had a connection with through my family; others have simply made an impression on me. All of these people led fascinating lives and if you are a "history buff" like me, you will enjoy their stories.
