Every week we will be tracing some larger themes in history through the eyes of our own experiences. 

Interviews with amazing actors who bring historical roles to stage and screen, and authors writing about and indeed, sexing up the past, to creative artists who have to recreate a 1973 Cardiff side street, to our very own historic adventures and mishaps that have shaped our lives. 

Ever wonder how we got here—and if we didn’t laugh, we’d cry? Welcome to History, For F***’s Sake—the podcast that digs into untold stories that shaped our world and our lives.

I’m Sarah Dowd, your host, heritage consultant with 20 years' experience of making history come alive from heritage icons to local heritage projects. In this pod, we will explore the history that’s not just in books—it’s in our homes, art, films, and even the wildest everyday moments.

From the 90th anniversary of prefab homes to the revolutionary origins of Drag Race, we unpack themes of creativity, survival, and sheer human spirit. Each episode features stories that challenge our views—like how WWII prefab homes inspired today’s tiny houses—or how comedy shaped our darkest moments.
You’ll hear interviews with fascinating people, from curators to creatives, sharing their takes on history and the positivity it can bring to us today. And don’t miss our mini-episodes—short bursts of advice, humour, and reflections on what it means to leave a legacy.

Coming soon, we dive into lost stories of strength, overcoming prejudice, and how humanity always finds its way. From the 50th anniversary of Bohemian Rhapsody, to Quint's Monologue in Jaws, to the first 'bug in the machine in computing', there’s something here for every curious soul.
