You're listening to an airwave media podcast.

My name is Greg Jackson.

I'm a PhD holding historian, a professor and the creator of history that doesn't suck.

A podcast that makes legit seriously researched

American history come to life through entertaining stories. Join me for a

chronological telling of the United States story. From the revolution to

fractious civil war, tenacious inventors, brave reformers, and more.

With more than 100 episodes, you can already binge list in your way from 1776 to the early 20th century.

Listen to history that doesn't suck on Spotify.

that'll be back shortly with a fantastic new story for you. In the meantime I thought

you might be interested in a brand new podcast that's called wikihole and it's a

podcast that explores exactly what happens to me all the time. You know I start

And then you click on the next page and learn that rugby was reintroduced as an Olympic sport in 2016. and that's what this

in 2016.
