Stuff You Missed in History Class:  If you’re a history buff, (and, even if you’re not), you’ll find yourself totally immersed in all the cool historic non-fiction stories and documentaries you’ll hear on Stuff You Missed in History Class. Most of the stories you’ll hear are stories you’ve never heard before, which is pretty cool. And, chances are, you’ll be so enthralled you won’t even realize you’re learning.
