  • Wow. These podcasts hosts seem incapable of thinking outside their own time/ philosophy. Listen only if you want endless finger wagging.

  • A Delight Every Fortnight

    I’m so happy that Cate and Jen are at it again! They are wonderful to listen to since they are such good friends and I find myself laughing g out loud all the time. I love their passion for history. Having the two perspectives of Jen re-reading and Cate reading them for the first time is fun. The first season was so great and I look forward to more!!

  • Nostalgic, fun, educational!

    I’m really enjoying the podcast so far, it’s fun to go back and revisit books I loved as a kid that also gave me a love of history. I’ve also been really pleasantly surprised at how detailed the hosts get about the time periods and I’m learning so much about different time periods. Definitely a deep dive and not just a quick one episode recap of each book without much detail (like so many other podcasts).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Historical Note: Chief Bluejay with the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania
Q: Would you describe the relationship between the Lenape people and a crow, for example?
Crows are seen as very wise birds, symbolizing ingenuity and balance with nature in Lenape stories. The prophecy of the four crows speaks to the importance of caretaking and harmony with our environment.
Historical Note: Chief Bluejay with the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania
Q: Could you please give us just a general introduction to the Lenape people of Pennsylvania?
The Lenape people have been in Pennsylvania for thousands of years, living in communion with nature. European arrival brought misunderstanding and conflict, particularly after figures like William Penn passed away, leading to events like the Walking Purchase of 1737.
Historical Note: Paul Lee and the Real Time Titanic
Q: What human stories touched you the most during the Titanic project?
The mundane stories which give inklings to what the people were like on board the ship reveal much about human nature during the disaster.
Historical Note: Paul Lee and the Real Time Titanic
Q: How did you get interested in history and the Titanic?
My background is in science, and I was initially captivated when the Titanic wreck was found.
Historical Note: Ranger Chris Carey on the Oregon Trail
Q: Chris, can you tell us about your journey into history?
Chris shares that his interest in history was reignited after taking classes at SUNY Broome and pursuing an internship at a local library.
