About This Podcast
Welcome to Ebbs of History, the show where we dive into the strangest, wildest, and sometimes downright creepiest stories the past has to offer. From Dancing Plagues to Pirate Queens, we’ll laugh, we’ll gasp, but most importantly, we will learn how history is way cooler than your textbook ever told you. Every episode, we will take a quick trip through time, then see what lessons we can still learn today. This is the Ebbs of History!
