From Here to History

History EN ↓ 36 episodes

The history podcast where Chris Swanson and Jason Weidert discuss events and people of the past with as much openness, understanding, and fairness as we can muster. Our only agenda is to inform in an entertaining and engaging way. We teach high school, after all, and that's a tough audience. Our hope is that if we can keep teenagers interested we may be able to pull off a worthwhile podcast, too. We try to release one episode every month. But we're teachers with busy young families so if we go a little longer than that between episodes, bear with us!
