Join me this week as I dive into the history of the Freedom's Journal, the first black owned and operated newspaper in American history.
Started by two free men in 1828, The Freedom Journal influenced a generation of writers, editors and artists by providing a platform for black voices. For the first time in history, their newspaper was nonpartisan and strove to provide both sides of an argument.
What was the Freedom's Journal? And who were the men behind the pages? Find all of that out and more.

Welcome to episode 100 peeps!
Join me this week as I chat with presidential history podcast host extraordinaire, Kenny Ryan, about John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams. Both men had strikingly similar careers and both go mostly unrecognized in popular culture, despite their immense contributions to history.
Kenny Ryan is the host of Abridged Presidential Histories, a podcast dedicated to sharing the life and impacts of our past presidents. He expertly weaves a concise narrative and I highly recommend you go check him out once you're done listening to our chat. You can find Kenny wherever you get your podcasts or through his website at www.aph.buzzsprout.com

Join me this week as I dive into another listener request: the history of the epic music festival, Woodstock.
In the summer of 1969, four young men put on what came to be the most memorable music festival of a generation. For four days, thousands of young Americans enjoyed the performances of the artists that came to define sixties: Jefferson Airplane, Credence Clearwater Revival and Jimi Hendrix. But what was the inspiration of Woodstock? How did it come together? And why does it still remain one of the most memorable concerts in history?
Tune in to find out all of this and more.
