About This Podcast

https://linktr.ee/oneuptheannals

Welcome to One Up the Annals, where history’s wildest stories get a modern pulse and a knowing wink.

Hosted by Rab Greeson, this show digs into the moments, obsessions, and mischief that shaped our world… not the textbook versions, but the human ones. The strange choices. The questionable decisions. The “how did we get here?” moments that connect past to present.

Each episode blends:

Cinematic storytelling
Cultural commentary with teeth
A little humor (the classy kind, mostly)
A unique approach and perspective

Whether it’s artists spiraling into brilliance, rulers courting disaster, or icons wrestling with the thin line between genius and madness — the Annals bring it all to life with heart, style, and a dash of irreverence.

If you love history, storytelling, or simply seeing humanity at its most human, you’re in the right place.

Where shame becomes legend… and the past finally gets the podcast it deserves.

Goodnight.
