About Echoes
In the First Person
Echoes In the First Person is a storytelling podcast
Each episode is a step along a metaphorical cobblestone path—the underlying visual—weathered stone bathed in golden light—symbolizes that journey. It represents the emotional and historical terrain we traverse: from forgotten alleyways of Victorian England to the untold triumphs of barrier-breaking pioneers.
This is not just a walk through time; it’s a reverent march forward, echoing voices that shaped the present.
About the Host
Michael Washington Brown
“As the host, my mission is clear: to craft stories that resonate deeply, challenge assumptions, and honor the complexity of those who came before. I approach each episode not simply as a narrator, but as a steward of memory. Through Echoes in the First Person, I aim to bridge time and emotion—to show that history is not just something we study, but something we feel”.
About the Podcast
History isn’t just names and dates—it’s people.
Echoes in the First Person is a storytelling podcast that reclaims overlooked narratives and breathes life into the forgotten and the misremembered.
Each episode offers a cinematic encounter with the past, where emotional truth takes center stage.
Weekly Rhythm:
Monday Monologue &
Thursday Thread
The Monday Monologue invites listeners into the interior world of a forgotten figure, speaking in the first person from the shadows of history. It’s a moment of presence, empathy, and cinematic introspection.
The Thursday Thread traces the historical, emotional, and cultural strands behind the voice—unraveling context, revealing connections, and illuminating the legacy left behind. It’s where mystery meets meaning.
Together, these episodes form a rhythm of remembrance: one voice, one thread, one story reclaimed.
Echoes in the First Person is a storytelling podcast that restores the voices of those history has sidelined: the dreamers, dissenters, artists, and pioneers whose lives shaped the contours of our world, yet rarely made the textbooks.
“If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.”
