When you ask someone what their least favorite subject was in school, what do you think they’ll say? They will usually tell you it was History class. Ok, maybe it was Math. But that’s not the point! Let’s say, for the most part those people said “History”. They are thinking, for instance, “why do we care about ‘boring’ dead people”? But we’re here to tell you that it’s not the people you didn’t care about, it was the boring way it was taught to you!
If you want to re-learn history, but don’t have the patience for an online course, then we have the history podcast for you!
In short, history is a story; it’s even in the word. The truth is…History is full of amazing stories. And we want to share them with you.
