History Rage — History
History Rage

Think history is boring? That’s because you’ve only ever heard the fake version.

On History Rage, professional historians come in swinging — smashing the myths, clichés, and half-truths that keep getting recycled in classrooms, documentaries, and TikToks. Vikings with horned helmets? Nope. Britain standing alone in 1940? Wrong. Medieval people never bathed? Rubbish.

Why listen? Because the truth is way more exciting. You’ll leave every episode with jaw-dropping stories, killer facts to shut down pub bores, and the smug satisfaction of knowing what really happened.

🎧 Episodes drop every Monday.

📲 Follow now and get the history they don’t teach you — raw, raging, and real.
