🎙️ Welcome back to Mostly Unsung — the comedy history podcast that uncovers the extraordinary stories your teachers definitely skipped! Every week, Annie and Andrea dig up the weird, wonderful, and wildly underrated people who shaped the world in surprising ways.🌍 This week’s episode travels from Kenya to Montana — two incredible stories of courage, creativity, and change:🇰🇪 Annie heads to Africa, where a brilliant young woman from the foothills of Mount Kenya grows up to change the fate of her homeland. From studying in the U.S. to replanting and rewilding Kenya’s forests, she takes on climate devastation with unstoppable determination and a little bit of dirt under her fingernails.🪶 Andrea journeys to Montana to meet a young man of the Crow Tribe — born into a family of warriors and storytellers. Called to serve in World War II, he fights wearing sacred body paint and an eagle feather beneath his helmet. Returning home “without a scratch,” he earns a new title and dedicates his life to preserving and sharing his people’s history with the world.🔥 Expect laughs, gasps, and a few “wait, how did I not know this?!” moments as Mostly Unsung brings you the bold, the brave, and the beautifully bizarre from history’s sidelines.🎧 Listen now for comedy, chaos, and forgotten legends who deserve the spotlight.Andrea used these sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Medicine_Crowhttps://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-war/joseph-medicine-crowhttps://www.nps.gov/bica/learn/historyculture/joseph-medicine-crow.htmhttps://www.military.com/army-birthday/badass-of-the-week-joe-medicine-crow.htmlAnnie used these sources:https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2004/maathai/biographical/https://wangarimaathai.org/wangaris-story/https://www.britannica.com/biography/Wangari-MaathaiWhere you can find us: https://www.instagram.com/mostlyunsung/ https://www.facebook.com/share/16J4vuMy1h/ https://bsky.app/profile/mostlyunsung.bsky.social [email protected] See you next Friday!
