About This Podcast
Hi everyone! Welcome to Dead People Talking. I'm Rachel Dyer a historian and lawyer who lives and breathes everything "back then". I love history. But I know a lot of people don't. We have done our history a disservice by teaching it wrong and boiling it down to names and dates. History is the context of...US. History is a story the story of every person who has ever lived, who is living, and who will ever live. Thats millions and billions of stories as rich and juicy and interesting as your own life story. So join me as we dive into some of the best stories from history and bring history back to life.
