Today's guest is the brilliant Jadwiga Biskupska, an Associate Professor of History at Sam Houston State University. A specialist in the war experience of Central Europe, particularly during World War II, Jadzia is the author of Survivors: A Cultural History of Warsaw under Nazi Occupation (Cambridge), among other works. She is the co-director of the Second World War Research Group-North America and will be the 2025-2026 General Harold K. Johnson Visiting Chair in Military History at the US Army War College. Join us for an engaging chat about academic parents, Polish nicknames, riding a bike and learning to swim (negative on both apparently), toast, and discovering Tex-Mex - enjoy!

Shout-out to Mr. Hamburger in Huntsville, Texas!
