How do we think about history? How do we tell the story of our country? In this episode, Hillari Lombard sits down with Lindsay Graham (no, not that one)—the voice behind American History Tellers, American Scandal, and more—to talk about the accidental path that led him to podcasting, the art of storytelling in history, and how the past helps us make sense of our fractured present.

From dusty archives to dramatic vignettes, Lindsay shares how his shows turn forgotten corners of history into gripping narratives—and why stories about “normal people” are just as essential as those about presidents and wars.
