Bob's Just Asking

There's a lot of stuff out there that I know little to nothing about. This podcast takes a deep dive into subject matter with experts on the subject matter being asked to provide primers on diverse subject matter. I'm not too proud to admit my ignorance and hope my listeners will learn a little something along the way (if not merely feel superior as they listen to my foolish questions).

    Bob's Just Asking Mike Connell About Ring

    Mike Connell is the principal songwriter, rhythm guitarist, and occasional singer for the band The Connells. They are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their landmark fifth album "Ring" this year. I'd been wanting to interview him for quite some time, so I was super excited to get this opportunity to sit down with the most humble, self-effacing rock musician you'll ever meet.

    Rick Lavoie about Teacher Ranger Teacher (S4E2)

    After an unexpected and lengthy hiatus, we're back with an interview of Saugus, Massachusetts educator Rick Lavoie, who is doing some amazing work in place-based education in the town best known for its witch trials, but has far more important and interesting history to learn about. Rick talks about his involvement with the National Park Service Teacher Ranger Teacher program and the importance of educators being life-long learners.

    Joseph Postell About Congress (S4E1)

    Joseph Postell is a professor of political science at Hillsdale College. He is an expert on the history of the United States Congress. Who better to ask about the recent drama over the election of the 55th Speaker of the House? Dr. Postell puts Speaker McCarthy's experience into historical context and shares some compelling and amusing anecdotes about the history of the House of Representatives. This interview is both for Congress nerds and those who don't quite understand the inner workings of the House.

    Graham Russell Hodges about David Ruggles

    The story of David Ruggles' brief life is nothing short of incredible. The fact that he's not a household name should be considered a crime. Graham Russell Hodges, the director of the National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminar Abolitionism and the Underground Railroad takes his turn at the mic to discuss his book. It's likely the final interview in a seven-part series, and the second time I've had the privilege of talking to this distinguished historian.

    Kate Clifford Larson about Harriet Tubman

    Nearly 20 years ago, Kate Clifford Larson blew up what everyone knew -- or thought they knew -- about Harriet Tubman. She discovered a trove of documents helping illuminate Tubman's life, thereby debunking many myths... and ultimately providing an even more incredible story about this indomitable woman. This interview is part of a multi-part series of interviews with historians involved in the National Endowment for the Humanities program on Abolition and the Underground Railroad.

    Marcus Rediker about Escaping By Sea

    Marcus Rediker writes "history from below," focusing on the stories of the marginalized and oppressed. His forthcoming book is about freedom seekers who sought liberation by sea. The excerpt of his book and his subsequent talk to the National Endowment for the Humanities program on Abolition and the Underground Railroad will change the way I teach. This is one in a 7- or 8-part series borne out of that program.
