Welcome to Unsealed History, a podcast by Generations Found that brings the forgotten voices of the past back to life. Every episode, we crack the wax seals and unfold the brittle pages of rare, primary-source letters discovered in deep archives. From the desperate whispers of wartime correspondence and the heat of secret love letters to the mundane (yet fascinating) accounts of everyday life in centuries past, we read history exactly as it was written, and fill you in on the history and the situation in which the document was created.
