Frontieriana is a history podcast about the edges of societies, how they came to be, and how they make people who they are. Frontiers can be one person’s homestead and another’s homeland. They can be prisons, promised lands, bountiful havens, barren backwaters, unforgiving wildlands or breathtaking wilderness all at once. This show will explore all these facets of the history of these places and the people in them. By telling the stories of indigenous people, explorers, settlers, criminals, conquerors, rebels, prophets, politicians, and the multitudes of other perspectives, this show tries to explore how boundaries both hard to pass and hard to discern create who we are as human beings. Listen to Frontieriana on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. New episodes are released every other Friday.
