Ill-Equipped History
Two non-historians with a passion for history tell stories of the past in a way that will make you laugh.
Listen on:
Thank you!
After over two decades of friendship, one of the many things we have in common is loving to learn everything we can about what happened in the times before us. We love making each other laugh and have a healthy competition of who can make the better (or worse) pun.
We are so excited to be able to take our passion for history and give it life outside of our weekly documentary dates. We are even more excited to be able to share these stories with you, our lovely audience.
Thank you again for being so supportive of two silly-gooses (silly-geese?) who love history.

Welcome to our podcast! Emileigh and Morgan are life-long friends who love watching history documentaries together and being freaked out at how old the world is. Our first episode covers the (arguable) first written language in human history. Join us as we ponder how people kept track of records thousands of years ago.
