The Hidden History Podcast

You use them every day. You've never thought twice about them. And yet — the objects in your home have stories more dramatic, more political, and more surprising than anything you'd find in a history textbook. The Hidden History Project is a narrative history podcast hosted by Aiden Thomas, uncovering the untold stories behind the everyday inventions that built the modern world. From the refrigerator that reshaped entire cities, to the dishwasher that quietly changed women's rights — every invention has a secret past. And it's more dramatic than you'd think. Each episode drops you inside a specific moment in history and follows the forgotten figures, accidental discoveries, and world-changing consequences that your textbooks left out. New episodes every week. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
