The Obscure

A history podcast about strange stories, forgotten figures, and the obscure corners of the past.

History remembers the famous — but what about everyone else?

The Obscure is a relaxed and often funny podcast that shines a light on historical figures whose contributions were vital, fascinating, or quietly revolutionary, yet largely unrecognised. Hosted by Daniel Darkens, Nina Bickerton and Minna Hayman, it’s a podcast for curious minds who enjoy learning, laughing, and looking at history sideways.
