Are you interested in the parts of history that remain a mystery?

Do you want to learn more about the historical myths and misconceptions used to prop up false belief today.

I'm Nathaniel Lloyd. In my podcast Historical Blindness, I delve into all of these topics,

sharing puzzling tales from the past, and examining
