Founded is a history podcast that takes a look at the stories you missed in history class about the founding of the United States of America. Instead of boring you with dates to memorize, we're digging into the drama of the Founding Fathers because that tea was piping hot before AND after they dumped it into the harbor on that Boston night! There still might be a test though so listen up and learn something but most importantly, let's have fun finding out who FOUNDED the United States of America.

Love this podcast! I wasn’t sure if it would be my thing, but Tori tells this history SO well and makes it entertaining, and Gwenna’s interjections are a fun counterpoint.
ADHD-Mom · Dec 2025
This podcast is excellent. My husband and I listened to all current episodes on our roadtrip this weekend and were obsessed. The gossipy style, the facts you’ve never heard, the nerdy sass- it’s so so good. Please make all the merch
KristiPrice · Dec 2025
These two are a delight to listen to! I totally feel Tori’s “I was studying a different topic and went down this rabbit hole and THIS is what we’re talking about today.” History presented in a way you haven’t heard before
LindseyA W · Nov 2025
I love the information you are sharing with us and appreciate the work you obviously put into your research. The joking around and constant interruptions by Gwenna are just too distracting. I actually can’t listen. I just read the transcripts. Thanks for your hard work. Please consider toning down the bantering and interrupting. It takes away from the story vs adding to it.
