From Here to History
The history podcast where Chris Swanson and Jason Weidert 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.
We try to release one episode every month. But we're teachers with busy young families so if we go a little longer than that between episodes, bear with us!

The Battle of Kursk, 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.
Germany invaded the USSR in June, 1941. In part 2 of our chat about the battle of Kursk, we sprint through the first 2 years on the Eastern Front. We chat about Stalin's blunder in ignoring all the signs of imminent invasion, Eastern Front atrocities, early German success with those big encirclements, Moscow, Stalingrad, and a whole lot more.

We have a good Eastern Front reading list there and you can keep up with news about our show.
Thanks, as always, to our sound editor, Grant Weaver
