I think I've mentioned before that I listen to the
Stuff You Missed In History Class podcast. The subjects are fun and interesting, and I like the easy-going, conversational style of the hosts and guest hosts. The subjects vary quite a lot (sports, wars, people, and so forth for quite a few different countries and time periods) and they love getting requests from their listeners. I have learned a lot while the show helped keep me awake through many a work day and road trip!!
Since I just did two plays where I was required to wear a corset, I found
this recent podcast fascinating. Funny how the history of underwear can be so fascinating!
(I should warn you that this podcast is quite a bit longer than usual. It's about 50 minutes long, but most are between 20 and 30 minutes.)
If you're at all interested in other historical topics, here are some of my favorite podcasts, many of which can be
downloaded for free on iTunes:
- How the Underground Railroad Worked
- How the 1916 Shark Attacks Worked
- The Birth of Frankenstein and the Vampyre
- Rival Queens: Mary Stuart and Elizabeth I
- Victoria and Albert
- Who was Rosie the Riveter?
- How the Great Wall of China Works
- Mutiny on the Bounty
- Was Satchel Paige the greatest pitcher in history?
Now, go learn something!
