Have you ever heard the story about how Napoleon shot off the nose of the sphinx in Egypt? Or that Shakespeare was actually illiterate and stole all his work? Or the rumor that Queen Elizabeth I of England was actually a man? The award-winning podcast Our Fake History explores strange stories like these, digging into myths about historical events and people and uncovering the real history in which these myths are rooted. Anyone who loves a good story will find a wealth of wonderfully weird content across the podcast's 6 seasons, each of which contains 20 to 25 episodes. The selection of topics includes whether or not legendary figures like Gilgamesh and Robin Hood were real, who really invented rock n' roll, who built the Pyramids of Giza, the origins of different martial arts, and beyond. Our Fake History also boasts active and enthusiastic communities on Facebook and Twitter (@outfakehistory on both platforms). The podcast, which is produced by Sebastian Major and Beth Lorimer, is available for listening on the page linked above or on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher.
