The Hidden Chapter is a weekly journey into the overlooked corners of history, where ordinary stories can lead to extraordinary discoveries.
Hosted by Walter Ridgeway, each episode explores true stories drawn from historical records, original research, and the details that often get left behind. Walt follows the trail through the people, places, and events of the past—carefully building the story until one final detail changes what you thought you were hearing.
Sometimes the connection is to a person you know. Sometimes it is a company, a familiar event, or something you encounter every day. But the destination is rarely where you expect it to be.
Warm, curious, and quietly wry, The Hidden Chapter looks at history from a different angle: not simply asking what happened, but finding the overlooked detail that makes the story worth telling.
