Sketches in History | Buried in Time

15-Minute History Podcast
About this episode

As promised, the 15-Minute History Podcast team is bringing you a new segment, just for kids, called Sketches in History, where history isn’t just a story—it’s an adventure. Join Lottie Archer, as she dives into her extraordinary notebook where sketches from history come to life.

In this episode, she travels to a bustling marketplace in 79 AD. But something is very wrong. Imagine warm air, clear skies, and a menace on the horizon. Your kids will learn about an ancient culture, preservation, and how a city was frozen in time.

Listen and subscribe to the 15-Minute History podcast to hear Sketches in History every other Thursday. Got a favorite historical moment? Share it with us at 15minutehistory@gmail.com, and it might just make its way into the notebook!

Until then, remember that history is just a page away.
