Description

A groundbreaking podcast for curious kids aged 4-12 that proves history is anything but dull.


Join our fictional AI hosts Mira, a brilliant 9-year-old, and her younger brother Finn, age 7, as they embark on thrilling journeys through time. From ruthless kings and invisible warplanes to doomed ships and devastating fires, each episode uncovers the most dramatic, fascinating, and sometimes shocking moments in human history - told in a way that actually makes sense to kids.


Whether you're learning about the tragedy of the Titanic, the shocking reign of Henry VIII, the invisible technology of stealth bombers, the catastrophic Great Fire of London, or the origins of humanity in the Stone Age - History's Not Boring transforms complex historical events into unforgettable stories that ignite curiosity and wonder.


Because history isn't something that happened to other people. It's the story of how we got here.


A note on why we use AI. For us, AI allows us to deliver learning at a scale and quality that previously would have been too expensive. If we make the odd technical error, or the sound goes a bit funny, bear with us, we’re trying our best. We hope you enjoy the show!
