About this listen

From frontier outpost to industrial titan, from abolitionist stronghold to cultural beacon—Cincinnati’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and rhythm. In this cinematic nonfiction narrative, author Derek Monaghan guides listeners through ten immersive chapters that illuminate the Queen City’s evolution across centuries.

Blending historical clarity with emotional resonance, this compelling journey explores Indigenous roots, 19th-century immigration, the rise of Procter & Gamble, the birth of professional baseball, and the city’s pivotal role in civil rights and urban renewal. Along the way, listeners meet iconic voices like Bootsy Collins, Doris Day, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and walk through neighborhoods that pulse with heritage and hope.

Whether you’re a lifelong Cincinnatian or a curious traveler of American history, A Brief History of Cincinnati offers a vivid portrait of a city that continues to shape—and be shaped by—the human spirit.
