History: Unwritten is a biweekly history podcast covering lesser-known civilizations across the world, with a particular focus on Africa, Asia and the precolonial Americas.
Each season covers a single civilization from its beginnings to its collapse. Seasons follow a central narrative interspersed with thematic episodes about social, cultural and economic history to give you a feel for the society we’re talking about ‘on the ground’.
We are now on Season 3, the history of the Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya – once ranked by visitors among India and China as one of Asia’s preeminent powers. Seasons 1 and 2, now complete, covered the Mali and Tibetan Empires respectively.
