About the Host
Elliot Gates
Hey there, I'm Elliot, a 31 year old Aussie living in London.
The idea for this podcast struck me a while back when I stumbled upon the incredible tale of Skanderbeg, the badass Albanian hero who held off the Ottomans in the 15th century. That got me curious, and I dived into stories like The Last Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI and Roman Emperor Aurelian.
You know what blew my mind? Almost every country has its own national hero who's a big deal locally but doesn't get much love on the global stage.
That's where this podcast comes in. My goal is to share those jaw-dropping stories with you. I've got no fancy history degree, but what I lack in qualifications, I make up for in my knack for sifting through ancient, dusty sources to bring you epic, tragic, and downright bizarre tales.
So kick back, relax, and join me on this wild ride!
