Real History, Real Expertise, Real Interesting
Waitman Wade Beorn’s podcast is real public scholarship in history, delivered in accessible language. The conversation is serious and substantive, and treats the (admittedly grim) material with the gravity it deserves. The podcast is engrossing and appeals to anyone who wants to know more about the Holocaust, and how professional historians think about history. It’s rare to have a real expert in an academic field converse with other experts about a subject in a way that’s accessible but not dumbed down. It’s also painfully relevant at this moment in time—I would have paid closer attention in Professor Bridenthal’s class on Modern Germany many years ago if I’d known that a working knowledge of National Socialism was going to be necessary to navigate U.S. politics in 2024. This isn’t a pitch to eat your intellectual vegetables, though: if learning history is your jam, this show is for you.
