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!
From Here to History
The March Madness of US Presidents, Pt 2
DISCLAIMER! If you're listening to this episode, first, thank you! But second, this is an early episode. It was recorded and edited when we really didn't know what we were doing and our sound quality was very lacking. We've gotten a lot better at both since then so, please, bear with us! We're so glad to have you along.
Sixteen presidents set out to be named the greatest in history. After two weeks of competition, eight advance and eight go home. In this episode, Chris, Katie, and Rachael send those eight home in true presidential style.

The audio had some glitches this time around but our sound editor, Grant Weaver, did Herculean work to minimize them. We're sure it will be fixed by the next episode!
