About Allie In the Archives

Allie in the Archives is a narrative history and true crime podcast digging up the forgotten, overlooked, and unthinkable stories from America’s past. Hosted by historian and author Allie Seibert, each episode is meticulously crafted, rich in archival research, and delivered with the same intensity as a ghost story told around the fire—slow-burning, unsettling, and grounded in truth. From unsolved murders to vanished women, witch trials to whispered rumors, these are the stories time tried to bury. If you’re drawn to the eerie, the obscure, and the historically true, you’re in the right place. New episodes every week. Follow wherever you listen.

episode The Greatest Race on Earth: New York to Paris, 1908 artwork

The Greatest Race on Earth: New York to Paris, 1908

In 1908, six teams stood in Times Square, pointed their automobiles west, and decided to drive to Paris, France.  There were no highways. No GPS. No reliable maps. But there were blizzards dumping feet of snow onto nonexistent roads, cars hauled out of drifts by horses, engines rebuilt nightly in the cold, and entire continents where the idea of an automobile was still closer to rumor than reality. This wasn’t a race in the modern sense. It was an endurance experiment dreamed up by newspapers and fueled by national pride, overconfidence, and a truly alarming lack of planning. Teams followed railroad tracks across America, argued over what “counted” as driving, attempted to cross Siberia by following telegraph lines, and—at one point—fully expected to drive across the not-so-frozen Bering Strait. Through mud that swallowed cars whole, duels that nearly happened, champagne shared in the middle of the Siberian tundra, and rules that bent just enough to keep the whole thing moving, one battered American car refused to quit.

episode The Bath School Disaster artwork

The Bath School Disaster

On May 18, 1927, a series of explosions tore through Bath Township, Michigan, killing forty-four people and injuring dozens more in what remains the deadliest act of school violence in American history. This episode traces the full arc of the Bath School Disaster-- from the conditions that allowed it to happen, to the devastation that followed, to the stories that were shaped in its aftermath. Along the way, we look closely at Andrew Kehoe’s carefully constructed narrative of grievance, the failures of oversight that gave him access and proximity, and the lives that were forever altered-- including the life of his wife, Nellie Kehoe, whose death came before the bombing and was largely absorbed into the disaster that followed. The Bath School Disaster is often reduced to a single morning of violence. But understanding how it happened requires looking earlier-- at silence, at power, and at the stories that are allowed to stand unchallenged. Content note: This episode contains discussion of mass violence, domestic murder, and the deaths of children. Welcome to the Archives.

episode Charles Dickens and the Ghost of Christmas Past artwork

Charles Dickens and the Ghost of Christmas Past

Charles Dickens is synonymous with Christmas.  With generosity. Redemption. Kindness.  But behind the stories that shaped Victorian morality was another story-- one carefully rewritten, tightly controlled, and believed for more than a century.  In this episode, we examine the marriage of Charles Dickens and Catherine Hogarth Dickens, a union that collapsed under the weight of celebrity and power.  Drawing on letters, contemporary accounts, and modern archival scholarship, this episode explores how a cultural icon became one of the earliest examples of a global media figure shaping "truth," and how Catherine Dickens quietly ensured that her own story would survive long enough to be heard.  Welcome to the Archives.  Bloodstained: Exploring Michigan's Darkest Murders Forgotten By Time [https://a.co/d/eVBJu15] Householdhistory.com [https://www.householdhistory.com/] Instagram: @allieinthearchives [https://www.instagram.com/allie.in.the.archives/]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
