Exploring the intersection between history and popular fiction. If you've ever watched a historical movie, TV show, or read a piece of fiction that pulled into its story people, places, and times from our history and wondered "Was it really like that?" this is a podcast for you.
We explore the larger world during the time period, explore the context of the age, its people, places, societies with a grimdark tone and twist. And then compare and contrast the reality of the time period vs what we have on our piece of fiction being reviewed.

Having just broken 10,000 downloads after only a year in running I thought it appropriate to mark the moment with a thank you episode. Since this milestone happened to coincide with almost exactly 1 year to the day of launching the podcast I thought I would commemorate the moment with a year in review of what was looked at, why we looked at it. Next up looking at the last two topics for Season 1 and what's coming up for Season 2 of the Grimdark History.
Thank you so much for everyone who's been enjoying the show and giving it a listen.
