As long as there’s been oppression, there’ve been people fighting it. This weekly podcast dives into history to drag up the wildest rebels, the most beautiful revolts, and all the people who long to be—and fight to be—free. It explores complex stories of resistance that offer lessons and inspiration for us today, focusing on the ensemble casts that make up each act of history. That is to say, this podcast focuses on Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff.

Love this podcast. History is interesting but sometimes dry and this podcast makes it so entertaining and easy to follow. I learn a ton every time. Also, I wanna hear from Danil. Hi Danil!
Love learning about all the under-taught, radical subjects of history covered on the podcast. Margaret does a great job researching and keeping the nuance of her subjects. ❤️ Would love to hear her cover Clarence Darrow. He seems like a cool guy who did cool stuff. Hope he wasn’t a bad husband.
I love learning about history through story. Margaret is absolutely amazing- I appreciate all of the context and love the “rants” too! The guests are always a wonderful addition. The addition of book club Sundays has brought me so much joy! Thank you for existing ❤️
Amazing material, amazing conversations, amazing narrator, amazing guests, amazing dynamic! P.S. the people who say you go on too many tangents are technically not wrong, but please, please, please don’t listen to them. I love podcasts narrated by chaotic ADHD people like myself :D
This podcast is a mess. Even listening to it sped up the pace was unbelievably slow and they spent an hour covering what would have taken 20 minutes and been more entertaining on a different podcast. The idea is good but execution is seriously lacking.
