Some of us love history. Others used to or never did because history was presented as nothing

but the rope memorization of names, dates, and facts. Basically, the story got left out and that made history kind of suck.

My name is Greg Jackson.

I'm a university professor with a PhD in history and bringing history to life is my passion.

That's why I created my podcast, history that doesn't

suck. I want to teach you everything you need to know about US history, but I do so through

stories. Let me tell you about George Washington begging his men not to mutiny against Congress.

Clara Barton's saving Union soldiers amid enemy fire, enslaved Frederick Douglas risking his life for liberty,

and about so many other figures as their real experiences

make industrializations, social movements, and even congressional debates and tax policy come to life.

Subscribe to history that doesn't suck today. And join me, Professor Greg Jackson, every other week for a new episode.

Where I'd like to report by the way, since last week's on the election show,

the show which dropped on the day of the election, but many people will have heard it, I suppose,

after the election.

So there'd be aware about the

voting choices that I had in this part of showbiz north London that world

socialism which I was which I was told to spoil my ballot paper before, has actually won, and well, and work,

workers control of the means of production has actually happened.

And yeah, and small bands of Trotskyists are wandering the street being hounded by even larger groups of Stalinists with pickaxes.

And also as a real surprise, the battleship Potemkin has has arrived in town so as you can as you can tell

it's all it's all changed here have you seen any of any of this in your part of the world?

No, no, we haven't. There ain't no party like a clause 4 party.
