Civilizations in places such as Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and the pre-Columbian Americas have left important legacies, yet commonly, Western histories overlook these narratives. History Unwritten, a bi-weekly podcast written, recorded, and edited by Cody Michaels, attempts to remedy these omissions with seasons dedicated to covering individual civilizations that have been overlooked. Each season serves as a "walking tour" to introduce listeners to different historical cultures and societies. The podcast's third and current season explores how the Thai kingdom of Ayutthaya rose from a modest city-state to a regional powerhouse. Past seasons have included a history of medieval Mali's rise and conquest, and the emergence and expansion of the medieval empire of Tibet. World history professionals and general audiences can find episodes on the page linked above or on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Each episode is accompanied by a brief description, historical images, and artwork created by Sukrit Tanticharoenkiat.
