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 March Madness of History: And the Winner is...
Back in March we hosted our second annual tournament of history on our campus. Styled after the NCAA March Madness tournament, our students considered 16 names and voted their way to a champion. Last year the tournament was about the greatest US president. This year, in honor of Women's History Month, our competitors were significant and influential women in history.
If you'd like to know how it all turned out, tune in as Chris, Jason and Elizabeth review the tournament and reveal the winner.
