A history podcast about the people standing next to the famous figures—the shadow operators who actually pulled the strings or spectacularly messed things up behind the scenes. Each mini-series (4-6 episodes, 15 minutes each) digs into the high-stakes drama of one historical figure you've never heard of but should have.From the British Prime Minister's obsessive dependence on a young socialite during WWI, to the aristocrat whose arrogance handed Germany to Hitler—these are the stories history books overlook.Researched and scripted by The Venetia Project, narrated using AI.
