Are You Still Listening?

A history podcast for curious people of about eight and up, and whoever's driving.

Kate and Helen tell true stories from the past. You hear the real words of people from history, read out by voices made on a computer. A new episode comes out every Monday, from 16 November 2026. Season 1 starts in the Stone Age and goes forward through time.

A computer makes the voices, but the words are real.

Kate and Helen are voices made on a computer, with AI. So are the people from history you hear.

But everything a person from history says in the podcast, they really wrote, or someone wrote it down at the time. It comes from a real book, diary or record. Some of them wrote in other languages, so you hear their words in English.

AI writes the podcast too. Will is real. He runs it, checks every episode, and records his own lines.

About the show: who Kate, Helen and Will are, and where the words come from

Why trust a podcast made on a computer?

Because it shows you its sources. A source is where a piece of information comes from. Every quote and every fact in an episode comes from a source listed on this site. Each source has a link, so you can read it yourself.

So don’t just take our word for it. Check.
