About the show
History doesn't have to be
boring. We promise.
Deep History started the way most good things do — two people sitting around, going down rabbit holes, and realizing that the stuff that actually happened is way more interesting than whatever they taught you in school.
"We choose what we like. Only the best topics for our audience — obscure, strange, and usually a little ridiculous."
We don't have a formula. We don't do structured academic breakdowns. What we do is pick a topic that's fascinated us, dig into it way more than is probably healthy, and then talk about it at our favorite local spot until someone cuts us off.
New episodes drop regularly. Mostly coherent. Always fun.
L
Lee Carter
Co-host & the one with the opinions
History enthusiast, passionate arguer, and the person most likely to spend three hours researching a footnote. Lee brings the deep dives and the slightly too strong takes.
B
Bob Foster
Co-host & keeper of the timeline
Equally obsessed with history, considerably less obsessed with getting the details right. Bob Foster brings the ridiculousness, the tangents, and the occasional "wait, I thought that happened in France?" He's the reason the episodes run long — and also the reason they're fun.
