Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage.
Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and Tides of History comes American Scandal, where we take you deep into the heart of America’s dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they’re caught. Hosted by Lindsay Graham.

More and more we are hearing about pastors and ministry leaders that feel like they just don’t fit the mold of what American Church culture expects them to be, expects them to look like, preach like, and even think like. We wanted to make a podcast for ministers dealing with the current social and cultural issues here in the US and the Church. We will look at these things through CSRM’s 3 tier paradigm of Theological Truths, Philosophical Principles, and Methodological Models. Hopefully, to help us all regain perspective and regain some sanity. Support this podcast: www.patreon.com/ministrymisfits

In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.
British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power.
But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage.
Who was really to blame for what happened? Why did they do it? And when all is said and done, did anything really change?
From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss. Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free...

Frequently Asked Questions Best History Podcasts
What are history podcasts?
History podcasts are audio programs that focus on exploring and discussing various aspects of history. They cover a wide range of topics, including specific historical events, figures, eras, and cultural movements. History podcasts aim to educate and entertain listeners by presenting historical information, analysis, and storytelling in an engaging audio format.
How do history podcasts differ from other genres of podcasts?
History podcasts differ from other genres in that they specifically focus on historical subjects. While other podcasts may cover a wide range of topics, history podcasts are dedicated to examining and contextualizing the past. They often involve extensive research, drawing from primary and secondary sources to provide accurate historical information and analysis.
Are history podcasts based on accurate historical research?
Many history podcasts strive to be based on accurate historical research. Reputable history podcasters conduct thorough research, consulting scholarly works, primary sources, and expert opinions to ensure the factual integrity of their content. However, it's important for listeners to be discerning and consider multiple sources to verify the accuracy and interpretation of the historical information presented.
Can you recommend some popular history podcasts?
Certainly! Here are a few popular history podcasts on Goodpods. "Hardcore History," "The History of Rome," "Revolutions," "The British History Podcast," "The History of England," "Stuff You Missed in History Class," and "The History of Byzantium."
What are the different types of history podcasts available?
History podcasts come in various formats and styles. Some focus on specific historical events, such as wars or revolutions, while others explore the life stories of notable historical figures. There are also podcasts that cover broader historical periods or themes, including social, cultural, or economic history. Additionally, some history podcasts adopt a narrative storytelling approach, making the past come alive through vivid storytelling techniques.
Can history podcasts contribute to historical research and scholarship?
While history podcasts primarily aim to educate and entertain listeners, they can contribute to historical research and scholarship. By presenting historical information and analysis in an accessible and engaging manner, history podcasts can inspire curiosity and interest in the subject. They may introduce listeners to lesser-known historical events or figures, prompting further exploration and investigation. Additionally, history podcasters often engage with academic historians, bringing their expertise and insights into the podcast episodes, thereby contributing to broader historical discussions.

Certainly! Here are a few history podcasts that are beginner-friendly. "The History of Rome," "Hardcore History," "Revolutions," "Stuff You Missed in History Class," and "The British History Podcast." These podcasts provide engaging and accessible introductions to historical topics while maintaining a high standard of research and storytelling.
Do history podcasts cover controversial or lesser-known historical events?
Yes, history podcasts often cover controversial or lesser-known historical events. One of the advantages of the podcasting medium is its ability to explore niche or overlooked topics that may not receive extensive coverage in mainstream historical narratives. Many history podcasters strive to shed light on lesser-known events, figures, or perspectives that challenge conventional historical narratives. These podcasts provide an opportunity to delve into controversial topics, such as controversial leaders, political movements, or historical debates. By doing so, history podcasts contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the past and encourage critical thinking and exploration beyond commonly discussed historical events.
