The first episode of the History Onion podcast is here!

In today’s episode, we introduce ourselves and explain why we’ve decided to start this podcast. We then listen to a couple of clips from interviews with Eric Foner and Howard Zinn, two of our favorite historians, as a jumping off point for a discussion about the importance of history. The interviews are linked in the show notes below.

Our next episode, on how to approach history, will come out on Monday, July 22nd, and we plan to publish a new episode every Monday going forward. Some weeks will also include a Thursday episode as a bonus. Subscribe to keep up to date!
