I am sad to share that my position at George Mason University is being eliminated in October. Over the last four years, I've produced over 100 episodes that have explored many different topics and time periods, but always with the same goal: to bring the latest academic research to public audiences.

So much is alternately bananas and enraging and terrifying, but over in my lane I know this. Americans want, in fact crave, real, full, complex histories that reflect the kind of complexity they face daily. Pablum appeals to v few. That's why we do this work. Heading into #July4.
