Whoever said history repeats itself sure had a point, and that's what we are investigating in this youthful history podcast. While studying and learning alongside our community, we put together episodes detailing various topics from across time and attempt to make connections with our modern day. We plunge into the theories, ideas, and events that shaped our world and society into what we know now. It is our goal to open up a discussion and discourse into history and the social sciences. The quest for knowledge doesn't have to stop in the classroom, if you feel like you want to dive deeper subscribe today!

What even are the Jacobites? I'll tell you
Today we do a quick talk on the Jacobite movement in the 1700 and 1800's. We talk about why you shouldn't call a Scot and Englishman and why the Irish so desperately preferred a Catholic king. That one might be a little obvious though. Anyways I am glad to be back and I hope you all are as well. Let's talk about the fallout from that (not-so) "Glorious Revolution."

Today is our first episode back and it's a good one. Right after taking a semester to study Latin American history and especially Cuba I drop some insight into what it means now that Cuba seems to be progressing towards a new future. Communism and the Cold War make headlines today as I get back on the podcast horse and decide I am here to stay.
