Coffee, History, and Becoming a Caster of Pods

Today's episode is a very special one, as I recently had the opportunity to visit with Alycia Asai. Alycia is the host, researcher and producer of the weekly podcast Civics & Coffee. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in History from Sonoma State University where she is returning to pursue graduate work. She fell in love with history at a young age thanks to a teacher who pointed out the beautiful flaws found throughout our past. She believes history is fun and engaging – if told the right way. When not creating new episodes for the podcast she enjoys traveling with her husband, running to 90’s hip hop, and planning her next Disneyland adventure.

As far as her show is concerned, Civics & Coffee is a weekly United States history podcast where Alycia explores the people and events in our past, all in the time it takes to enjoy a cup of coffee. Episodes are released every Saturday and are generally less than 20 minutes each, unless she is featuring a guest. The show launched in August of 2020 and was recently featured in the Women Who Podcast Magazine for their anniversary issue.
