About History for Thinkers

A show that makes the past feel personal.

Every episode starts as a set of personal notes—lingering thoughts, big questions, and half-formed theories I’m working through in real time.

Then I hit record.

If you want, you can watch the show on YouTube or listen on Spotify.

But here, on this newsletter, is where you can cut out the middleman.

When you subscribe (it’s 100% free with no ads/sponsorships), every new episode will show up directly in your inbox—no algorithms, no engagement traps, no corporate timeline trying to decide whether you deserve to see the next thing I make.

This is part of a larger project:

Stop letting predatory tech platforms dictate if and how we stay connected.

Email is the oldest and most durable social network on the internet—and for creators like me, it’s the only way to make sure that if you want to hear from me, you actually will.
