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!
From Here to History
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Pt 4
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. We've gotten a lot better since then so, please, bear with us! We're so glad to have you along.
Hello again everyone! We're so sorry for the long hiatus since our last episode. A few production glitches slowed us down but we're happy to be back.
In this episode, Chris and Jason finish their tour of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In Babylon they muse on whether or not those famous Hanging Gardens actually existed while taking in the sights and sounds of one the ancient world's most entrancing cities. Then over at the beautiful island of Rhodes they consider the Colossus, the great statue of Helios in the harbor that only stood for 54 years.
We thank Nate Davidson for producing the episode!
