In all the years that humans have lived in this world, many events have unfolded throughout time. A lot of those are quite interesting or at least intriguing, and they can serve as a good lesson for the future to come. Here are podcasts from Spotify that will take you back in time.
1. 'Lore'
If you're also into mythology, maybe you'd like to hear about how they were fabricated. This podcast tells the story of historical events and figures, which inspired the creatures of myth, legends, and other stories. It's the perfect combination for enthusiasts of history and mythology.
The podcast releases new episodes every two weeks, which are made available every Monday. It does feel like a long wait for a new episode, but hey, good material takes time to make. Subscribers to Amazon Prime can watch the first two seasons of the TV series, which is based on the podcast.
2. 'BackStory'
Podcasts usually focus on a single theme, even from a branch in history. However, "BackStory" doesn't just focus on a particular theme. It delves into social topics from time, cultural history, and even conspiracies.
This way, you can listen to topics like the history of the number 13, immigration, and incarceration. If you're feeling a bit mysterious, there's an episode where the host talks about the cultural history of UFOs, as mentioned in Popular Mechanics.
3. 'You're Wrong About'
The podcast is hosted by Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes, who are both good friends. This makes the podcast a bit more conversational than solo hosts who just tell a story. This could be a plus for some listeners, as they might hear debates about different insights between the hosts.
The podcast leans a bit toward revisionism, as they talk about events that might be perceived differently in the current age. The topics include female historical figures like Tonya Harding, Lorena Bobbitt, and Anna Nicole Smith, and how their life would've turned out in a different time.
4. 'Nice Try!'
Humans often try to create solutions to make living standards better, and a lot of time, they fail to do so. The podcast hosted by Avery Trufelman tells the history behind such attempts, also diving into why it all went wrong. He also points out why these ideas were wrong before they even began.

5. 'You Must Remember This'
The podcast's host, Karina Longworth, has undergone meticulous research to bring you stories from the 20th century of Hollywood. She talks about iconic figures like Marilyn Monroe and the Manson Family. She also tells stories that are not known by most, but you'd be glad to learn about them.
6. 'Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine'
We all know that the medical knowledge we have today is far from what we had decades ago. They were procedures and prescriptions that would've made people clutch their pearl necklaces, like lobotomies, and prescribing cigarettes for cough.
This perfect partnership between comedian Justin McElroy and his wife, Dr. Sydnee McElroy will talk you through these practices, as suggested by Town & Country Mag. It's the perfect blend of humor and information that will get you to keep listening.
