Conflicted: A History Podcast
★★★★★

History with Transparency (Two reasons 5/5)

1.) THE SHOW: All history is interesting – to a point. the most modish we learn in primary school. From there, replications of the “lesson”rudiments throughout our life. It may come up in discussion, faceted into an allegory, made into a media sensation.
• So we see a mention of the event and blow it off, as having been familiarized with the event we confirm our bias that the crux is known and we stray away from further perspicacity or research, as it’s been played out, known, and now uninteresting.

2.) THE HOST: No human is able to be objective despite what is expected of those in public eye. Instead of editorializing, the story is transparent. There is no sensationalism, no dwelling on over explaining, no subversive tones or remarks.
• It’s a host with a clear agenda telling the historical events most of us “know” while adding a spectrum of insight, from historical & regional culture/customs, to the amalgamation of topical current events, etc.
• The host does not assume the audience is dumb, or quick to trigger, however, for the ignorant and the morally conscious, he so eloquently adds slight context to help everyone keep up, and recognize injustices without taking time away from the actual purpose of the show.
