TODAY’S GUEST

In today’s episode, Eva and Olga welcome Dan Carlin, who the Huffington Post has called America’s Best History Teacher.  His podcasts, HardCore History and Common Sense, are among the most popular in the world with tens of millions of downloads.  Dan is a master storyteller and history buff, and his detail-rich episodes often venture into the three or even four-hour threshold.  We aim to keep our podcasts in the 15-20 minute range, and that is a ton of work.  We admire Dan’s work ethic, as it takes great discipline and passion to put together such an incredible show.

In this episode, we asked Dan how to encourage kids to develop a love of history.  Dan explained that there is a history to everything, so the best place to start is learning the history of your top interests.  Whether you love video games, soccer, ballet or ice cream — you can go learn all about how it came into existence and got to where it is today. We created this personalized sheet challenge you to learn the history of your top interest, and you can even add your face and name to the sheet. This is a 100% free download and you can create as many as you want — we encourage the entire family to participate!

When you complete the challenge, let Olga know at [email protected]. You will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Amazon Gift card and 1-month free membership in Post Pal Club. Winners are selected monthly and contacted by email (as well as announced on our show!).
