History Spotlight

Hello guys! In today's episode, we cover what experiences African-Americans have been going through since they arrived in America. From slavery, to the Civil Rights Movement, and through to today, we not only examine the actual history of African-Americans in America, but we also talk about the impact they've had on American culture and society, and the experiences of African-Americans today. For this, I am joined by my friend, Milan Glass. You should also check out her podcast with the link https://anchor.fm/thepowerofyoupodcast and check out her advice on self-help!

Today's episode is a discussion about how the musical genre of rock was created, and how it not only progressed over time, but how it impacted the musical and cultural landscape of today. I am joined by friend and fan of rock music, Luca Williams, who gave a deeper understanding of this influential genre. Be sure to stay tunes for more episodes like this!

The Hundred Years War was fought between England and France during the 13th and 14th centuries. It was a war which changed the way wars were fought and produced many chivalrous battles and honorable heroes on both sides. In this episode, I interview a friend and student of history named Rakesh on the origins of the war and the events that lead up to it.
