Historical Figures You Didn't Know Were Recorded

Today I explore some of the oldest and most fascinating historical voice recordings ever captured. From the oldest human voice ever recorded in 1860 to the voices of Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Albert Einstein, Walt Whitman, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Benjamin Harrison, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and more, these are the real voices of people most of us have only encountered in history books.Some of these recordings changed history. Others survived by pure luck. Either way, hearing these famous historical figures speak in their own voices is an incredible reminder that these weren't just names on a page. They were real people.If you enjoy history, historical recordings, famous speeches, lost audio, old technology, inventions, presidents, science, literature, World War II, and educational documentaries, you're in the right place.If you enjoy episodes like this, I'd appreciate you subscribing and joining me for more fascinating stories from history every week.Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site.
