Show overview

Historical Blindness has been publishing since 2016, and across the 10 years since has built a catalogue of 250 episodes. That works out to roughly 190 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 38 min and 53 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language History show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 20 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 38 episodes published. Published by Nathaniel Lloyd.

From the publisher

Historical Blindness is a podcast about history’s myths, mysteries, and misconceptions.
