Did you ever wonder how we got here?
How tiny pieces of history have shaped our lives in ways we barely notice?
Or that every single day, we're making history, too?
I'm Sarah Dowd, and this is History… For F***’s Sake – the podcast that dives into the untold stories that actually matter.
My mission is simple: to get as many people as possible to love history.
Our history.
The big stuff, the overlooked stuff, even the moments we lived through just yesterday.
Because history isn’t just something in textbooks. It's woven into our culture, our art, our films, our performances. It’s not boring. It’s our muse.
I’ve spent over 25 years bringing history to life from Second World War convoys rumbling through London, to immersive performances between Pearly Kings and Gen Z creatives.
I’m a writer, speaker, heritage and arts consultant, and producer who’s worked everywhere from cathedral crypts to pop-up theatres, museums to community spaces across the UK and beyond.
I’m a Canadian living between the UK and France, with a late ADHD diagnosis that fuels my curiosity (and my chaos) and I believe history should be for everyone. Not just the experts. Not just the textbooks. Everyone.
Each week, we’ll trace big themes through everyday experiences from actors breathing life into historical roles to authors rewriting the past for modern audiences.
We’ll explore how film and TV reshape our view of what came before, even how our own failures become part of the bigger story.
Yep, that’s history, too.
