Welcome to Historia Obscura! I’m so happy that you’re so eager to learn about the most unknown chapters of history, and I can’t wait for you to hear what I have in store. In this podcast, you will hear about the parts of history that your school history textbooks didn’t explain. I hope you enjoy it. A new episode will be released every other Friday at 6 PM, starting on January 10th. As for that first episode, well, I won’t tell you exactly what it’s about. But I’ll give you a hint: it takes place mostly within the 1990s. You just have to come and see what it is. You can find this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or directly on Anchor, by going to Anchor.fm/historiaobscura. Subscribe to my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/historiaobscura!
