Welcome to Trapped History, where we tell the stories of the forgotten – of people who have been ignored by the history we’ve been taught in school.
It’s history for the curious, it’s grown-up history, complex difficult history. It’s history for you.
It’s been a busy few weeks for Trapped History.
Last month, we were named best British indie podcast at America’s prestigious Signal Awards.
And we’ve just won again. This time at The Lovies, Europe’s sister awards to the ‘Oscars of the internet’, the Webbies.
We’re silver medallists in the history podcast category. And here’s the killer: we were beaten into second place by the world-conquering juggernaut that is The Rest Is History.
Second to The Rest Is . . . I’ll take that!
This little video is our Lovie thank you speech: we were only allowed seven words so we chose the one word which we think expresses all our feelings: happy!
We couldn’t be prouder of this new level of recognition. And just to be clear – Trapped History is small, independent, self-funded and until three years ago, we knew nothing about audio. This has been the most immense learning curve.
And it’s real proof that we’re doing the right thing: crafting stories which you – our followers, supporters, subscribers and listeners – want to hear.
So thank you for sticking with us. It means the world to us.
