About this listen

 On This Day is the show where a single date becomes a time machine. From royal massacres and political coups to lost music archives and pop culture meltdowns, we uncover the wild, dark, and fascinating events that happened on this very day in history. With cinematic pacing, sharp narration, and a touch of dark irony, these aren’t fun facts, they’re true stories told like thrillers. Twisted, revealing, and weirdly relevant. New stories drop daily.© 2025 On This Day
