Trapped HistoryThe award-winning history podcast rebooting history one story at a time Author: trappedhistory
Trapped History is a history reboot for all of us. Telling the stories of the forgotten of hidden heroes who have been ignored by the history we were taught in school. We take our name from something the writer James Baldwin said: People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them. We want to break people free from those stories. Women's history, Black history, hidden history, forgotten history trapped history. And so we give you a history podcast for the curious, with inspiring tales of unsung heroes, people who broke the mould with their courage and defiance. Co-hosts Oswin and Carla are joined by special guests who help bring those stories to life. People like Mishal Husain, Jeremy Corbyn, Michaela Strachan, Sathnam Sanghera even Zippo the Clown and Jet from Gladiators! Anyone with a new and different perspective on history.

The Road to Vinh Linh: The Vietnam War and the Saving Rice Jar
Episode 6
Sunday, 22 February, 2026
Picture a woman of the French Resistance, printing underground papers in her cellar, making bombs at her kitchen table, cycling across her country with codes hidden in her knitting. And then spin the globe 6,000 miles and find yourself in Vietnam.Because this is what Madame Xuan Phuong did. As a teenager, Phuong fought in the jungles and mountains of Vietnam for her country’s independence against the Japanese. And then the French. And finally the Americans.We are delighted and honoured to be joined by a very special guest to tell Xuan’s story – Madame Phuong herself. A legend in her homeland, named on the BBC’s 100 Women 2024 list and a recipient of the Legion d’Honneur, her fascinating story helps us see the Vietnam War through Vietnamese eyes.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
