Trapped History tells the stories of the forgotten – of people who have been ignored by the history we’ve been taught in school.
We take our name from something the writer James Baldwin said: “People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.” We want to break people free from those stories.
And so we give you history for the curious, with inspiring and often heart-breaking tales of people who broke the mould with their bravery and defiance.
Co-hosts Oswin and Carla are joined by special guests who help bring those stories to life. People like Mishal Husain, Jeremy Corbyn, Sathnam Sanghera – even Zippo the Clown and Jet from Gladiators! Anyone with a new and different perspective on history.
Going above and beyond national histories or British history, the histories you find in museums or at times or war, Trapped History will reboot your sense of the past.
