The Persistence Podcast

Angelica Cordero

The Persistence digs deep into overlooked stories you won’t hear anywhere else. With a sharp intersectional focus and a mix of solid research and personal narratives, it invites listeners to rethink history through the lenses of gender, race, power, and how we remember the past.

What I did:

Dug deep into history to find the stories that don’t usually get told—especially those from women, queer folks, and communities of color.
Wrote narrative scripts that weave together personal stories, historical moments, and pop culture—making big ideas feel human and relatable.
Shaped the overall vibe and voice of the show to be smart, grounded, and intersectional (with a little bit of sass).
Connected past and present by tying episodes to current events and cultural conversations.
Worked with artists and musicians to make sure the show looked and sounded like the kind of history podcast I’d actually want to listen to.
Helped build an audience through a newsletter, social posts, and direct engagement—because history should be shared, not siloed.
Listen to episodes on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
