Alan Wakim and Dustin Bass discuss the past five years and six seasons of the podcast as they say adieu. After 200 plus episodes, The Sons of History podcast has come to an end.
A little thank you note:
Today we release the final episode of our podcast. Six seasons. Five years. 200+ episodes. Bestselling authors. Award-winning historians. Guests from across America, France, the UK, and the Republic of Ireland. We have made so many friends and have been honored by our guests and our listeners. Our goal was always to make learning history a fun experience. Those of you who put up with our (Dustin and Alan) bantering and bickering, we thank you. It was always part of the show (just in case you thought otherwise). We always warned our guests before recording that we might start digging at each other and not to be alarmed. 😂 We hope that all of you who listened learned something, whether it be about the Ancient Assyrians, the Greco-Persian War, the fall of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, the Vikings, the Hundred Years’ War, Christopher Columbus, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, colonialism, slavery, the US Constitution and the Republican form of government, the expansion of the American West, the Gilded Age, World War 1, the Interwar Years, World War 2, the Cold War, the fall of Communism, and everything in between. Our podcast will remain available on the various platforms and on our YouTube channel, so you can always revisit the many subjects and encounter again the varied guests who hailed from places like Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, U of Virginia, Hillsdale, U of Nebraska, the Hudson Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and all those independent historians who have dedicated decades of their lives to the pursuit of history and truth. We hope that we might have been even the slightest bit of an inspiration for you to become interested in history and to discover how the world works and how its inner workings are far more complicated than we might credit it. To all of you who have listened and will listen in the future, we give you our heartfelt thanks.
