Über diesen Titel

History Miss is a history and leadership podcast about the stories history got wrong—or left out entirely.

While textbooks and documentaries focus on victories, heroes, and neat conclusions, this podcast digs into the missed warnings, bad leadership decisions, and quiet failures that actually shaped the world. These are the moments leaders ignored reality, trusted the wrong people, doubled down on failing strategies, or made choices that looked reasonable at the time—and disastrous in hindsight.

Each episode explores real historical cases of leadership failure, decision-making under pressure, power dynamics, and unintended consequences. From political and military disasters to corporate collapses and cultural breakdowns, the show examines what history missed about why things went wrong.

This isn’t a heroic history podcast or a collection of inspirational lessons. It’s a narrative-driven look at how leaders fail, why smart people make bad decisions, and how power quietly protects mistakes until it’s too late.

If you’re interested in leadership history, historical failures, bad decisions in history, power and leadership, and the hidden side of how the world was actually shaped—this podcast is for you.

History Miss Because history remembers the winners. It forgets the mistakes that made them possible.

    James K. Polk: The Dark Horse President
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode, we explore the chaotic 1844 Democratic convention, where a political deadlock led to the unexpected nomination of James K. Polk, a "dark horse" candidate not even present at the gathering. We then learn how Polk, driven by a relentless work ethic and a clear vision of Manifest Destiny, dramatically expanded the United States during his single term in office.
