Every class starts with going over the syllabus and what the class expectations are. I do the same thing with this episode. I delve into what I want to do with this series. I explain why history is a subject we love, then grow to dread. I explain my reasoning behind my push to conduct research that considers multiple points of view...and I introduce you to "Zachisms". Yes, you will have to listen to understand that one. 

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did recording it.
