The Rest of History
By Sam Burnett & Lauren Pfeil
We're not going to bore you with state-standardized lesson plans. Instead, we'll tell you stories that you can't wait to tell your friends.
We (Lauren and Sam) are graduate students of public history. We're also a real-life Zillennial and Gen Z-er, and we really, really like talking about history, *duh*. So, we married our skills as historians-in-training with our fresh, conversational rapport, and we created this history podcast for a new audience.

Episode 04: One If By Land, Two If By...Mark?
Settle down with your Dunks and a cruller, and believe us when we tell you that this episode is a friggin' wild ride. Lauren goes after landlords, lambasts the male tendency to ~embellish~ stories, and embraces her secret inner Masshole to tell Sam the story of an oft-forgotten character in the tale of Paul Revere's famed midnight adventure.

Episode 03: Female Husbands and the Women Who Loved Them
What was life like for an LGBTQ+ person living before Stonewall? Good question. Let's meet some eighteenth-century examples of queer pioneers. Delving into her niche interests (*cough* obsessions), Sam tells Lauren all about female husbands— people assigned female at birth who lived as men despite tremendous risk— and, of course, the women who married them. Grab your plus one, put on your dancing shoes, and consider this episode your cocktail hour.

Episode 02: The Adopted Children of Marie Antoinette
Louis, Louis, and Who-ie? Did you know that Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI had four adopted children? Well, Sam definitely didn't. We invite you to join us at the Court of Versailles as we discuss who Lauren was in her past lives, adoption in the eighteenth century, and why children are so often excluded from historical narratives.

Episode 01: Fairies, Murder, and the Burning of Bridget Cleary
Take a trip through time with Sam and Lauren as they enter the magical world of nineteenth-century Ireland. Only it's really not that magical. Instead, it's actually rather horrifying. Join us for our debut episode where Sam teaches Lauren all about the sensational 1895 murder of Bridget Cleary— a young woman burned alive for being a fairy changeling.
