HistoPoli: A Look Into Our Past and Present
Whoever said history repeats itself sure had a point, and that's what we are investigating in this youthful history podcast. While studying and learning alongside our community, we put together episodes detailing various topics from across time and attempt to make connections with our modern day. We plunge into the theories, ideas, and events that shaped our world and society into what we know now. It is our goal to open up a discussion and discourse into history and the social sciences. The quest for knowledge doesn't have to stop in the classroom, if you feel like you want to dive deeper subscribe today!
