Biography Channel Mini-Documentaries

This excursion had us traveling away from the podcast mic to a seat in front of a camera.

We had the honor of spending  a bit of time as historical consultants for the Biography Channel this past year. We made our maiden voyage to the A&E offices and studios in New York, sat down in front of  camera and told the tales of some of history’s most interesting people. The result of that work is the mini-biographies listed below. We really enjoyed doing this, hope that we get the opportunity again and want to give a big, “thank you” to Producer Caitlin Van Mol for bringing us not only to New York but also onto these videos.

So, if you ever want to SEE us talking about historical figures, here is your first chance (and not just women, we can chat about the roosters, too). (The links below will lead you to the bio.com website biographies in another window. The videos play at the top, load times vary.)
