Relics of the Past - Hauntingly Good Historical StoriesImmersive historical storytelling — where the past doesn't stay quiet.
Some places never let go of what happened there. Neither do the stories.
Relics of the Past is a narrative and interview documentary podcast exploring the forgotten histories of America — the people history tried to erase, the places that still hold the weight of the past, and the questions that three centuries of silence haven't managed to answer.
Each episode draws on primary historical sources, first-hand accounts, and deep regional research to bring a single story back to life.
What you'll find is something rarer: history told honestly, with all the human weight it actually carries — and the quiet, persistent suggestion that the past is never quite as finished with us as we'd like to believe.
Hosted by Cheryl, founder of Relics of the Past. New episodes release seasonally on all major platforms.
