A history and comedy podcast about the overlooked and underrepresented people and events from ancient to modern history. Join comedians Cass and Natalie for an educational, entertaining and sometimes irreverent romp through history as they share the tales your textbooks glossed over, whitewashed, man-washed...or left out completely.

In this incredibly sincere and well-researched bonus minisode, we read a note from the mailbag, explore a magical neighborhood in Wisconsin, and answer the question: "what if Nat & Cass commit to a bit for ~24 minutes?". We want to shout out our listener Melanie who sent in this request and probably didn't expect this. See y'all for Shared History Season 7, starting next week.
We also want to say f*ck terfs and encourage you to support organizations who are committed to providing resources and support to trans youth. If you don't know where to start, check out the Trans Youth Equality Foundation, The Trevor Project, and/or Stand With Trans. If you'd prefer to do your own research on where you can make an impact, or if you are looking for support and resources of your own, GLAAD has a great page.
This bonus episode is a riff on our Patreon exclusive series: "Little Locals" where Shared History hosts, Cass and Nat, research the history behind the names and faces of local streets, parks, buildings, statues, etc. If there's a street or park that you drive by every day and wonder "I wonder who/what the heck that's named after" submit it to sharedhistorypodcast@gmail.com and maybe we'll do a Little Local minisode on it!
