Welcome to The Historians' Hangout!

Each episode of The Historians’ Hangout will be connected by a theme of bringing attention to those who are often left out of the popular historical narrative. This includes focuses on those who were persecuted due to their sexuality, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. Every episode will be a relaxed interview among historians who have thoroughly researched their topic of interest. History should be insightful and thoroughly reviewed by scholars but also accessible and interesting for everyone else! We are building a community that allows the public to enjoy history in a comfortable environment.
Grab a snack, relax, and hangout with us!

Hi everyone, welcome to The Historians' Hangout! 

00:00:09 Alannah Graves 

Although this is not the first official episode, I wanted to give a preview of what to expect. 

00:00:14 Alannah Graves 

The show will be hosted by me, Alannah Graves, and will have several other historians as guests throughout the season. 

00:00:19 Alannah Graves 

Each episode will discuss how historians properly conduct history with pointers for those who want to get started on their own research projects or want to know a little bit more about history. 

00:00:28 Alannah Graves 

I'm really excited to have you all stumble along on this journey. 

00:00:31 Alannah Graves 

I won't lie, this podcast has been messy and difficult from changes in name, website mishaps and failing technology. 

00:00:39 Alannah Graves 

This show is constantly evolving. 

00:00:41 Alannah Graves 

The Historians' Hangout is my first time ever doing anything like this, so some aspects could be a little bit cleaner, more polished. 

00:00:47 Alannah Graves 

But I'm still learning, just like you, this podcast is where my capstone project, but it really started off just by posting silly little history facts on my Instagram Reels for my friends. 

00:00:55 Alannah Graves 

Everyone really seemed to enjoy it, so I guess I just moved it over here. 

00:00:59 Alannah Graves 

I believe that history should be accessible and inclusive for everyone. 

00:01:02 Alannah Graves 

All of these episodes will highlight groups that have been often ignored throughout the popular historical narrative due to their marginalized identities linked to race, gender, sexuality, religion, and so on. 

00:01:14 Alannah Graves 

I hope this inspires future researchers to look into the silences or gaps in history where these people are often left out. 

00:01:20 Alannah Graves 

I want to create a casual space where people can learn comfortably! Imagine the show as a group call with your really really nerdy friends instead of an academic lecture. 

00:01:29 Alannah Graves 

So grab a snack, relax, and please come hang out with me while I learn something new. 

00:01:33 Alannah Graves
