<p>Perhaps one of the most improbable stories in human history: Joan of Arc was an illiterate peasant girl who convinced a nation that she was on a mission from God.  Regardless of your beliefs on her divine claims, she was an extraordinary woman, who by the time of her untimely death at the age of 19 had led her nation's armies into battle, inspired its people to rise up against invaders, and convinced its King to take up his crown.  </p>

Joan of Arc

I learned to love history from my father's stories.  He had a way of teaching history, not as a theory or series of events, but as a human story about real people who shaped the world by their choices.  I want to share that love with my own son by telling real stories of great and interesting people.  I created the History Stories for my Son Podcast because I want to spread that love of history as far as possible.  The stories on this podcast are about people who made a difference in their own time, told at a level accessible to everyone, including kids learning about them for the first time, but also engaging for even the most knowledgeable history buff.  You are invited to join a community where we remember that history is a story that should be shared with every generation.
