Hello, my friends.

This is Professor Greg Jackson, and today, I am most pleased to bring you a little off-week

treat.

The tale of the Zimmerman Telegram, as told by the prolific history podcaster, the not

one and only, and definitely not a US senator, Lindsey Graham.

As many of you know, Lindsey is a dear friend of mine.

He is the host of several podcasts, such as American History Tellers, American Scandal,

American Elections Wicked Game, and the particularly brilliant historical audio drama,

1865.

His company, Airship, does HTDS's sound design, and we have had many a long conversation

about history, podcasting, presentation, you name it, all of which I credit to my growth

as a podcaster.

Well, all that to say, Lindsey also hosts History Daily, a podcast that delivers a relatively

short episode every weekday, whose topic is always a meaningful, historical event that

happened on that precise date, be it a few years or a century ago.

It's a wonderful way to make what might feel like just another ordinary day come to life

as you learn about significant events on their anniversaries.

For today's Taste of History Daily, though, I'm letting the actual date slide to bring

you a World War I related topic, the Zimmerman Telegram.

I hardly have to tell you about it significant since we learned about it here on HTDS, but

I hope you enjoyed Lindsey's telling in an episode dedicated solely to that event.

And if you do enjoy it, be sure to check out History Daily wherever you get your podcasts.
