Hello, I’m Ben Tumin, and welcome to Skipped History!

I interview leading historians about their latest research. Together, we examine conveniently overlooked ideas, events, and people that shape the U.S. today. Luckily most of the people I make fun of are too far underground or floating too deep in the cosmos to punch back. New interviews are released every Friday.

I also make videos bringing historians’ work to life. My web series was profiled in The New York Times. As of late 2024, I’m in the process of writing a new video series. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
