Our Editor's Take
Who doesn't love a story about a hero or heroine? The Who, When, Wow! podcast is all about heroes, but not the likes of Superman, Batman, or Spiderman. It is all about unsung heroes, heroines, and amazing people who don't always get the same attention as the big names. This podcast is about the lesser-known change-makers of the past that had a massive impact on the world.
Host Rebecca Sheir is the author of The Unwelcome Guest and A Taste of Honey. She produces the Circle Round storytelling podcast. As a reporter, she has contributed to public radio shows such as Morning Edition and Marketplace. Who, When, Wow! is where her storytelling and reporting skills combine and blossom. Sheir plumbs history for people whose achievements, actions, and life story surprise and delight.
Not all heroes wear capes. And not a lot of them even make history books. Sheir shines an overdue spotlight on her heroic subjects. Past topics have included Shirley Chisholm, the first elected Black congresswoman in the United States. The show also considered the suspenseful tale of Annie Taylor, the first person to survive crossing Niagara Falls in a barrel. Sheir's fun and exciting narration brings the story of her subjects to life.
