American Shadows

Most history books are filled with people, places, and events that sit on lofty pedestals, but there’s a whole other side of American history that’s been forgotten and pushed into the shadows.

But while those stories might be a bit darker than the ones we heard about in school, they are no less valuable. American Shadows explores the lesser-known tales relegated to the dusty corners of US history, one journey at a time, in our signature Grim & Mild style.

New episodes, narrated by host Lauren Vogelbaum, are released every two weeks, on Thursdays.
