As long as there’s been oppression, there’ve been people fighting it. This weekly podcast dives into history to drag up the wildest rebels, the most beautiful revolts, and all the people who long to be—and fight to be—free. It explores complex stories of resistance that offer lessons and inspiration for us today, focusing on the ensemble casts that make up each act of history. That is to say, this podcast focuses on Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff.

Why listen

Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff turns radical history into lively, deeply sourced stories about people who fought oppression, built mutual aid, and challenged power. Host Margaret Killjoy mixes solo storytelling, guest conversation, and recurring book-club episodes, so listeners get both historical narrative and a sense of political community. It is a strong fit for people who like history with an anti-authoritarian point of view, sharp humor, and stories centered on collective resistance rather than famous lone heroes.
