  • Fascinating histories told in Monotone

    As a longtime listener of this podcast I can say I’ve learned an enormous amount from it and even plan travel to visit places featured in the podcast. With the exception of some fun musical transitions it is, however, a dry, largely emotionless listen. It’s not read by an annoying AI voice but much of the copy is read with a similar flat tone. Perhaps more conversations would liven it up as I think some of the wonderful research here is lost in the listless reading of essays.

I look forward to each episode and the knowledge it promotes. Additionally, through this podcast, I h... more

Q: Connie, in 2013, as Florida commemorated the 500th anniversary of the landing of Juan Ponce De Leon on the peninsula, many historians and celebratory event planners struggled with the question of how to present the explorer?
Historians debated the portrayal of Ponce De Leon due to his overshadowing by other explorers and the tendency of textbooks to provide minimal coverage of his importance in the narratives of American history.
Florida Frontiers Radio Program #616

Florida Frontiers Radio Program #605
Q: Cassandra, could you explain what inspired your research on the recent conflicts over control in Florida classrooms?
