From Here to History
History is a story we tell ourselves about the past. We all know that story often shapes our present world but, just as often, our present world shapes how we tell that story. In this show, Chris and Jason discuss events and people of the past with as much openness, understanding, and fairness as we can muster. Our only agenda is to inform in an entertaining and engaging way.
We teach high school, after all, and that's a tough audience. Our hope is that if we can keep teenagers interested we may be able to pull off a worthwhile podcast, too.
Episodes are topical rather than chronological and we try to release one episode every month. But we're teachers with busy young families in addition to being podcasters. So if we go a little longer than that between episodes, bear with us!

The Seven Wonders, addendum
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still interest and inspire us today. In this episode we reflect on our tour of the Wonders with a few footnotes to wrap up the trip. Then we take a look at a few modern structures and natural features that are awesome wonders in their own right.
Thanks as always to our sound producer, Nate Davidson
