Welcome to Skipped History!
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. Half of the posts are free, the other half are for my divine paying subscribers.
I recommend subscribing to Skipped History on Apple Podcasts so that you never miss a beat:
I also make videos bringing historians’ work to life. My web series was profiled in The New York Times.
A brief note from our Customer Service Team (aka me 💁🏻♂️)
To make sure you receive our emails (sometimes they go to spam), I’d suggest adding skippedhistory@substack.com to your contacts list.
Also, if you use Gmail and this message shows up in your ‘Promotions’ tab, I’d recommend dragging the message back to your ‘Primary’ inbox.
I’ll see you on a Friday soon. Thanks for tuning in!
Your skipper,
Ben
