**The HistoryNet Podcast**

The HistoryNet Podcast features some of the greatest stories from HistoryNet.com‘s archive of over 25,000+ features. From ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, from the 18th century to the edge of recent memory, we zero in on the people and events that made the world what it is today. Vividly written by expert authors, thoroughly edited and fact-checked by magazine professionals, these stories bring history to vibrant life.

The narrators of this podcast, however, are not human beings but AI voices created by our partner, Instaread.co. Say what you will about AI, but in this case the voices are surprisingly real, capturing well the nuances of the articles they’re reading aloud.
