    History is full of stories we think we know. They are old and dark, but time has robbed us of perspective and clarity. They've become obscured and misunderstood. Which is why this series exists: to dig deep and shed light on some of history’s darkest moments. To help us better understand where we’ve come from. To make it Unobscured. Each season pairs narrative storytelling from Aaron Mahnke, the creator the hit podcast Lore, with prominent historian interviews.

    S1 – 2: The Outsiders
    Oct 10 2018

    Even though Salem had been without an official charter from England for almost a decade, there was no question that witchcraft was still a crime. The only question left was how to handle them, and the answer would involve pitting a group of outsiders against a few powerful insiders.

Bravo

I am always amazed at what a great job the Grim and Mild team do and how much of what we are taught is just wrong. This is a fantastic show and a wonderful teaching tool. I hope more people make use of it.

Fascinating and Fantastic!

I first hear Aaron on his first podcasts called Lore. I quickly fell in love with his story telling and the stories he presented! I have learned so much! I just finished the second season of unobscured and am excited for the third!
