For long-time subscribers of this newsletter, you’ll know that I have a particular weakness for history podcasts. It’s THE single topic I found most fascinating in school, and I would wager a bet to say that in a significant portion of multiverses, the other me’s went on to be some sort of history teacher or professor or something. That said, I’m always looking for fantastic history podcasts that will excite my history nerd boner (gross, I know). The History That Doesn’t Suck is a terrific show with a major focus on American History, and I’m fairly certain you’ll enjoy it as much as I have.Looking for 5 hand-picked podcast recommendations weekly?
