Trapped History tells the stories of the forgotten – of people who have been ignored by the history we’re taught in school.
Their stories have been hidden because of their gender, ethnicity, class or sexuality – hidden because of the times they lived in. We want to do a simple thing at Trapped History: to reboot our sense of history. As the writer and activist James Baldwin wrote, “History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us – we are our history.”
Each episode will tell the story of someone we’ve never heard of, with Oswin and Carla joined by expert guests who help us understand about the past and the present. So tune in to hear all about the African and Jewish war heroes, the women who changed the course of science and of the people who circled the world. And maybe you will also get the chance to meet the greatest singer, the trailblazing sports star and the most fearsome hero you’ve never heard of.
Because their histories are our histories.
