Description

Episodes release Bi-Weekly on Thursdays.


This is History Unmuted. I’m Nichole — and this podcast uncovers the parts of American history that were buried, ignored, or rewritten… and connects them to the systems, power structures, and headlines shaping today. From forgotten events to history unfolding right now — this is where the past explains the present, and the present becomes history. 


“Turning up the volume on suppressed facts.”

Send a text Millions of people visit Central Park every year. They walk the paths, picnic on the lawns, and see it as one of the most iconic green spaces in the world. But before the park existed, a thriving community stood on that land. Long before Central Park became a symbol of New York City, the area was home to Seneca Village, a community founded in the 1820s by free Black New Yorkers. It grew into one of the most significant Black property-owning communities in the city, with homes, chu...
Send a text What if the most important parts of American history… were never centered in your classroom? You learned slavery ended in 1865. But not about convict leasing that followed. You learned about westward expansion. But not the legal doctrine that justified land seizure. You learned about World War II. But not the 120,000 Americans sent to internment camps. You learned about the American Dream. But not redlining maps that decided who could build wealth. This isn...

Send a text In this episode, we’re going to zoom in. Because these systems didn’t just appear — they were championed, defended, and exported. And they usually come with a face. A leader. A hero. A story we’re taught to admire. Tonight, we’re looking at how American power justifies itself — through myth, leadership, and legacy. And how one of the most celebrated figures in U.S. history embodies that contradiction. Victory for some. Suffering for others. And a story hist...
Send a text In our first episode, we talked about how history isn’t neutral. How it’s curated. Condensed. Muted. Today, we’re going to slow down. Because the thinker we’re discussing today didn’t believe societies fail because they move too slowly. He believed they fail because they move too fast to reflect. You’ve heard the line: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” But George Santayana wasn’t offering inspiration. He was issuing a diagnosis. And...
Send a text This is History Unmuted. This podcast exists because history isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what survived. What was written down. What was preserved. What was taught. And just as importantly — what was skipped over. What was condensed. What was reframed. What was deliberately softened so it could be absorbed without resistance. Most of us grow up believing history is a fixed record. A timeline. A series of agreed-upon facts han...
