Love this podcast!

I’m a huge fan. I’m always learning something new and I like how the interviews are with different people on new topics.

Great pod!

Great way to learn about the people who write history first in your car! Listened to it for class.

Learn the past to understand the present

There aren’t a lot of journalism podcasts out there, so there is lots of room to fill niches.

This one does a great job at looking at different topics in journalism history. You’ll get one episode on the end of the NyC tabloid wars one day (highly recommended) and then something on Abraham Lincoln the next.

If you like history of any kind you can probably find something that fits your interest. High recommendation.
