This is an introduction to my podcast Written by the Rest that focuses on the untold stories of history, but with a twist: I make sure it's never boring.

Each week, I delve into the creases of the history books with a different topic, from ancient civilizations and legendary figures, to wars and revolutions that have shaped the course of human events. But instead of just presenting dry facts and figures, I use my perspective to bring these stories to life in a way that is both entertaining and educational.
