In this podcast, I talk to different people to explore what they believe history is, what it can do, and how they use it in their everyday lives. Because I firmly believe that people use history regularly without them even knowing, it would be very interesting to see what their views are.
What makes History-in-the-Now Conversations appealing is that my guests are people who do not work in any field directly related to history but — as we shall discover — hold valuable insights about its worth and relevance. The aim is to thus listen and learn from their everyday realities and experiences and how they believe history fits into the equation.
Through these exciting conversations, I hope that we come to better understand history’s practical life uses and through this perhaps find better ways of understanding our daily interactions in our families, with our friends and colleagues at work, and in broader society. What may result could point us into new directions for improving how we dialogue and share knowledge with each other, and through this perhaps learn to become fuller and more complete persons, happy and feeling fulfilled.
