Most people don’t know that you’re considered a cancer survivor at the moment of diagnosis. It wasn’t always this way. Sixty years ago, a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence. And if you did survive, you were left to figure out the rest of your life on your own.
But some survivors demanded something different, something better.
From OffScrip Health, this is The Cancer Mavericks, a deep-dive narrative into the people who fought for better treatment, forced doctors to listen, and pushed America to see the human side of the disease.
Episodes of this series will publish monthly through the end of December 2021 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971. For more information, visit https://cancermavericks.com.

From the co-creators of Slow Burn, Fiasco is a narrative podcast that transports listeners into the day-to-day reality of America’s most pivotal historical events. The fifth season of the show goes deep on the AIDS epidemic in America, with a special focus on the early years of the crisis, when a diagnosis was tantamount to a death sentence. The eight-part series looks at the mystery and missteps around identifying and treating a new, contagious disease, and what it took to get the public — and the government — to care.
If you want more Fiasco, be sure to check out the latest season, available exclusively on Audible. The six-part series tells the story of a shooting that took place in 1984 on the New York City subway, leaving four Bronx teenagers gravely wounded and turning a man named Bernie Goetz into a national folk hero. Fiasco: Vigilante offers a panoramic but intimate view of how this era-defining story unfolded, giving voice for the first time to key players, and immersing listeners in the gritty, paranoid world of ’80s New York City.
Fiasco: Vigilante launches July 27th on Audible at audible.com/fiasco.

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.

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.

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.
