Each HappenedHere episode is made up of three carefully-crafted four to five minute stories, rooted in historical fact, linked together by location or theme, and set in the very recent to the very distant past.
Our stories start in Central London.

Check out our bite-sized Festive stories
As a little aperitif, in advance of our full podcast launch, we created six ‘one-off’ Festive stories, gifted across the Twelve Days of Christmas. Listen to each of these, or subscribe to hear them all:
‘The poetry of history lies in the quasi-miraculous fact
that once, on this earth, once, on this familiar spot of ground,
walked other men and women, as actual as we are today,
thinking their own thoughts, swayed by their own passions.’
G.M. Trevelyan
