Why I Like It

I like hearing all of the sides of story and learning about individuals. This podcast has helped me learn different perspectives. It primarily focuses on American history but they sometimes cover other history. I like to know what the latest theories and discoveries are of historical events. I’ve also learned a lot about events, practices and people I never knew about. I’m really proud that I’ve listened to every single podcast, earning myself an official Stuff You Missed In History Class Phd (I have the T-shirt to prove it).
