Great podcast
I am very sad that this podcast is ending. The episodes only vary in excellence depending on the subject. My favorite is the episode on Ida B. Wells. I want to comment on the Pauli Murray segment. Fascinating subject and I am extraordinarily happy that Back Story addressed this incredibly impressive person before the podcast closes. I do not use Facebook or Twitter so I am never sure how to give feedback (maybe I should take up Twitter - I refuse to engage with FB and I wish all Americans would take action before our democracy is ruined). Sorry for digression. One of the scholars used the pronoun “they” instead of she or he. I think “they” is awkward and gives the impression that the individual is a Siamese twin. (apology for racist terminology) I recommend that everyone read “Woman on the Edge of Time” by Marge Piercy. It’s a pretty good speculative novel in which Piercy uses the term “per” (for person) as the inclusive pronoun. It works surprisingly well and it is markedly less awkward than “they”.

This show has done a great job of offering concise overviews of the history of what many think are "modern" topics, but in reality are issues that have been around for hundreds of years. Excellent research and a nice balance of historical information with entertaining anecdotes.Read full review »
