What Homes Cool History Is All About
Welcome! I made this podcast for my kids, but now I’m sharing it with you, too.
Homes Cool History is a growing archive of original Catholic history audio.
You’ll find serious longform stories, comedic civics debates, saint biographies, and family-friendly time travel, all grounded in faith, imagination, and truth.
🎧 What You'll Find Here:
🧠 Homeschool History
Dramatic, immersive narratives exploring history through a Catholic moral lens.
Think saints, revolutions, resistance, heresies, and heroes.
🎧 Start with:
The Accuser’s Smile
·As the drums of war grow louder, Thomas Caudill faces a decision that may cost him everything: his reputation, his place in the community, even his freedom. Refusing to enlist, not out of cowardice but conviction, he becomes the object of suspicion in a world intoxicated by unity and vengeance.
The Accuser’s Smile
A young man confronts corruption from inside his small community during WWII and learns that grace resists in silence.
⚔️ The Pilgrim’s Inheritance

📘 The first dramatic episode is coming soon, but if you're curious about the themes, read the intro post.

🕯️ Why This Exists
There are too few stories that teach virtue without preaching, truth without partisanship, and faith without fear.
So I’m making them for my family, and maybe for yours too.
