Greg Jackson: "History That Doesn't Suck"


Listen Later

Higher Ed Now producer Doug Sprei teamed up with Jack Golden, an ACTA summer intern and rising senior at Hillsdale College, to explore one of the nation's most compelling history podcasts. History That Doesn't Suck, the brainchild of Professor Greg Jackson of Utah Valley University, combines rigorous research with virtuoso production values and a dynamic approach to storytelling. With over 100 episodes available and new ones issuing every two weeks, History That Doesn't Suck has reinvented the genre and built a loyal audience of hundreds of thousands of listeners.

How on earth can you make good selections as to who you're going to put into positions if you don't even understand what the position really is, how it's evolved, what it does?
