About This Podcast

FACES OF HISTORY is the podcast where legends lose their marble pedestals and real people emerge from the shadows of myth. Hosted by Thee Duke Of New York, each episode peels back the layers of the world’s most controversial, misunderstood, or larger-than-life figures — from traitors and tyrants to unsung heroes and rebels who changed everything. Forget dry lectures — this show brings you the raw truth, messy motives, hidden scandals, and untold stories that history class left out. Dive deep into the betrayals, ambitions, victories, and downfalls that turned ordinary humans into infamous names
