Summary

At The Road to Now, we don't just make history podcasts- we also listen to them. In this episode we're excited to share our conversation with fellow history podcaster Dr. Liz Covart, whose podcast Ben Franklin's World covers the history of early America. Bob, Ben and Liz discuss the concept of the frontier in American history, the work that goes into writing history and sharing findings, and why it's a good idea to follow the evidence even when it makes you uncomfortable. We also talk about the place that podcasts fit within the field of history and why it's so exciting to share history with others.
