Welcome to my new podcast, Calm History.

So, who am I?

I'm Harris, which is actually my middle name, and I'm a university professor.

But I'm not a professor of history, and I'm not an expert on history in any way.

I basically don't really know much about history.

So why should you listen to some doofus like me drone on about history?

That's a fair question.

Reason number one.

Because I'm not an expert historian, I'm not going to over-analyze the 2,000 factors that

shaped each second of a historical event.

Instead, you'll find that each episode will be easy to understand and easy to

listen to. You can kick back, put your feet up, and just listen to an interesting tale that happens

to be about history. All right, reason number two of why you should listen to some dofus like me,

drone on about history.

I'm not really trying to teach you history, but rather I'm trying to distract and relax your stressed-out brain squirrels.

The historical information is just the bait to distract your squirrels from your stressful thoughts.

And then hopefully my calm tone will relax your squirrels to help you feel refreshed after hectic day.

Now, you can listen while going for a walk, folding your laundry, lounging on your couch,

or as you fall asleep at night.

And yeah, it's okay if you drift off while listening.

That just means I distracted and relaxed your stressed-out brain squirrels.
