Bad Historian: City Tours

Audio tours that transform every city into a show you walk through with stories you can't wait to retell. Pick a destination, choose a tour, and step into the scandals, secrets, crimes, rivalries, artists, architecture, power struggles, and unbelievable facts that shaped the streets around you. HOW IT WORKS Pick a destination, choose a tour, and step into the scandals, secrets, crimes, rivalries, artists, architecture, power struggles, and spectacularly bad decisions that shaped the streets around you. These aren’t dry lectures or lists of dates. They’re entertaining stories that bring every city and stop to life with stories you’ll want to retell when you get home. Think of it as a show that unfolds street by street. THE GAME Almost everything you hear is documented. A few small details in each tour are invented, and at the end we tell you which ones. The difficulty is not our doing — history keeps making this hard, because the real stories are usually the ones that sound made up. THE REVEAL Every tour ends with a quiz: which stories were true and which ones we invented? The real history is always stranger than anything we could make up. Find out the truth at the end.
