  • Must listen!

    I just learned of this show via History Unplugged a couple days ago. It’s amazing to hear such interesting first-hand accounts of real people. I especially love the stories from our veterans. I feel like it’s a race against time to get their stories in some cases. The host is knowledgeable of history and respectful of his guests. My book list is getting longer because I want to learn more about their stories and how they’ve impacted our world. Keep up the great work!

    History does not regard Ayers as some sort of social justice warrior, but rather as a counter-culture radical who was intimately involved in domestic terrorism in the late 1960s and early 1970s.... more
