The way most of us were taught history can be boring — just a list of dates and events with no relevance. But once you start teaching history to your kids, everything changes, and you wish you could show your kids now what you wish you had seen when you were first learning history yourself. 

Today's guest, Emily Glankler, is the founder of Anti-Social Studies, wildly popular TikTok and Instagram accounts and a website by the same name. Her passion and sense of humor make history come alive for your family. With degrees in history and international studies, she's a veteran high school teacher in Austin, Texas, and a love of improv, Emily finds the details of world history and turns them into relevant stories for today’s students.. Emily's mission with her podcast and social media channels is to remind people of the significance of historical events and provide fun and contextualized historical information. We discuss how to make history interesting and engaging for kids and adults — and it’s simpler than you might think!
