Ever wonder why famous historical figures like Aaron Burr, George McClellan, Douglas MacArthur, Cato the Younger, Julius Caesar, and many others fell from the great heights to which they had ascended to end up in death or disgrace?

History's Trainwrecks explores the self-destructive tendencies of historical figures who lose everything even when the prize of a lifetime is in reach, often costing them a treasured place in history.

Exploring the intersection between history and popular fiction. If you've ever watched a historical movie, TV show, or read a piece of fiction that pulled into its story people, places, and times from our history and wondered "Was it really like that?" this is a podcast for you.

We explore the larger world during the time period, explore the context of the age, its people, places, societies with a grimdark tone and twist. And then compare and contrast the reality of the time period vs what we have on our piece of fiction being reviewed.
