The Stories We Forgot is the history podcast for non-historians. Join husband and wife team, AJ and Pearl Hurst, as they tell stories from history ranging from the obscure to the unheard of. AJ and Pearl Hurst have been married since 2004 and are currently raising 4 amazing children in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Having grown up in the Pacific Northwest, they have lived in Virginia since 2017. AJ and Pearl’s hobbies include, feeding their children (again), trying to homeschool their kids, pretending to be farmers, spending time with friends, and waiting for the kids to go to bed so they can Netflix and chill. The Stories We Forgot podcast started originally because Pearl thought it sounded like a cool name for a podcast and was hoping that someone would start one like it. After a month or two of simultaneously wishing someone would make that podcast and wishing she was hosting her own podcast so she could pretend to be a radio host like Frasier Crane, Pearl asked her amazing and accommodating husband to host the show with her. All her favorite podcasts have two hosts and she felt like the conversation and banter would be interesting between two nerds who have been married a decent amount of time. The Stories We Forgot is a weekly podcast featuring true stories from history that we…forgot. AJ and Pearl will cover the lives of people from history and events from history because even though they love history, they aren’t history professors and feel like most people only have a basic grasp on all of history at best. The Stories We Forgot will primarily focus on stories from American history (since that’s where it was founded). However, other stories from world history will pop up from time to time. AJ and Pearl will cover stories mostly from the last two hundred plus years of history but occasionally will sprinkle in older stories because those tend to be even more…forgotten. AJ and Pearl make no claims at accuracy. You have a smart phone. If you’re curious about a story, feel free to look it up yourself because we all have access to the same internet. They’ll be pulling from google search results to give you the “broad strokes” about a story. Sometimes google is wrong, you know? Also, there are so many interpretations to any event in history. It’s very possible that you won’t agree with our interpretation of an event. Feel free to hit us up on Twitter (@TSWF_Podcast) with all your thoughts. If they’re entertaining enough, AJ and Pearl will even talk about them on the podcast.

“Being sundry explorations, made while afoot and penniless in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. These adventures convey and illustrate the rules of beggary for poets and some others.” Published in 1919, this is poet Vachel Lindsay’s description of his travels “afoot and penniless” across the southern and eastern United States, staying with strangers, reciting or trading poetry for dinner, and along the way, describing in stories and poetry, mostly stories, the people and places he encountered. Think “Travels With Charlie,” minus the dog and the Winnebago, and much, much earlier. From the Dedication and Preface: “There are one hundred new poets in the villages of the land. This Handy Guide is dedicated to the younger sons of the wid earth, to the runnaway boys and girls getting further from home every hour, to the prodigals still wasting their substance in riotous living, be they gamblers or blasphemers or plain drunks; to the heretics of whatever school to whom life is a rebellion with banners; to those who are willing to accept counsel if it be mad counsel.” If you remember the 1960’s, you’ll feel right at home. If you wish you remembered the 1890’s, here’s your chance. You might also feel right at home, at that.

We Share The Same Sky is an intimate portrait of family history that tells the stories of two young women—Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and Rachael, her granddaughter, on a search to retrace her grandmother’s history. Presented by USC Shoah Foundation, this seven-part narrative series explores how the retelling of family stories becomes history itself and how acts of kindness during war can echo across generations.
