The Tattooed Historian Show The Tattooed Historian

Last week, I went back to the States to see family and visit Antietam and Gettysburg. It was good to be back on ground that defined me as a historian. But next week I'm going to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. Here's a preview of things to come! Stay tuned in about a month for a post-Normandy show!

Do you want to help the next generation of historian-content creators understand how to reach their audience when it comes to comfortable and difficult histories? I'm developing a new playlist on YouTube where the data from your interaction with the videos will be studied and used in workshops and at conferences!

I was pleased to sit down and talk with Jason Lantzer about his book, Dwight Eisenhower and the Holocaust, published by De Gruyter. I learned a lot from Jason and his book and I'm so happy to have had him on the podcast.

I had the chance to chat with Niels Eichhorn & Duncan A. Campbell, the authors of The Civil War in the Age of Nationalism, published by LSU Press. This was an introductory discussion about larger issues pertaining to "modern war," rebellion, reconstruction, memory and more around the time of the American Civil War. Their book is absolutely a must-read!!

Cecily N. Zander joined me to discuss her fantastic book entitled, The Army Under Fire: The Politics of Antimilitarism in the Civil War Era (LSU Press). I've heard some of these stories and histories as separate entities but never put them together quite the way Cecily has and I was so excited to talk with her about it.

This is the second part of my conversation with my friend, Ryan Goldsworthy. Ryan is the curator there and we were recording in the RCMI's amazing library. We discussed a lot of topics involving museum initiatives, curation, and public history. And you'll get to hear what is in store for some of the RCMI's collection in 2024!
