The writer James Baldwin once said: “People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.” This engaging and well researched podcast hosted by Oswin and Carla takes this philosophy by profiling forgotten people generally ignored by the history books and school lessons, but shouldn’t be. 

These include stories of notable women, people who fought against colonialism and pioneering LGBTQ+ individuals. Each episode has been richly researched with a great array of topics covered.. There's also a great selection of guests who regularly appear, from Sathnam Sanghera to Mishal Husain.
