History
The show was founded in 2016 by Andrew Tuzson and was an extension of the Lost Origin's website. Launched in 2015, the website contained hundreds of articles written by multiple authors and researchers. Upon its release, the podcast was sponsored and supported by Inner Traditions, a leading publishing company for materials that focuses on exploring ancient mysteries.

The first season of Lost Origins was hosted solely by Andrew Tuzson. The final episode of season one was released on July 25, 2016 and following its release, the show entered a hiatus. The impetus of the hiatus was due to Andrew relocating his family and business to Lincoln, Nebraska. On social media, Andrew cited needing to shift his focus to growing his company and spending time with his three children. In February of 2018, Lost Origins began teasing the development of an additional season on social media and on October 30, 2018, season two was officially announced.

The first episode of season two of the show was released on May 20, 2019. This episode introduced the show's new co-host, Christopher Kingsley. The new season also saw the reimagining of the show, including new segments, revised musical accompaniments, and improved audio quality. The second episode of season two was released on May 27, 2019 and featured Scott Wolter.
