A History of Iniquity
A History of Iniquity is a history-and-true-crime podcast about real crimes from the deep past — and the civilisations that produced them. Each episode, host Ryan Wolf takes a single documented crime from the ancient or pre-modern world — a murder, a conspiracy, a betrayal, a trial — and uses it as a doorway into the world it happened in: the politics, the daily life, the beliefs, and above all the law. Because you can't understand the crime until you understand the world. A trained lawyer with a lifelong love of history, Ryan is fascinated by both halves — the world-building and the justice — and brings you along as he goes, with the genuine enthusiasm of someone learning alongside you. Expect rigorously researched, immersive storytelling, and at least a few "I had no idea" moments every episode, in both directions. Season One travels the ancient world from oldest to newest — Egypt, Assyria, Rome, the Norse world, feudal Japan and beyond. One civilisation, one crime, at a time. Hosted on Acast.
