The best podcasts for Early America

Who am I?

WM graduated from Manhattan College and received his MSEd from CUNY Lehman. He was a local APUSH Teacher and History Department Chair in East Harlem, with more a decade of experience in the classroom. He holds a BA in History and a MSEd in Social Studies Secondary Education, while being a scholar recipient of both The Williamsburg Teacher Institute and the Fort Ticonderoga War College. He is currently a member of The French Colonial Historical Society, The Society for Military History, the Daughter’s of Liberty’s Legacy and Philipse Manor Hall. I wanted to bring the intertwined history of New York and Quebec to a wider audience through my experience as a classroom teacher and my own genealogical search to rediscover my own colonial roots.

My Show

What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?

My podcast covers the syncretic frontier of New York and Quebec, from 1755-1815. The show covers three seasons focusing around the FIW, The American Revolution, and The War of 1812. I also seek to highlight the region’s connections with the Caribbean and the foundational historical backdrop to era. A wonderful show tying together the Anglo and francophone worlds of the western hemisphere and illustrating the amazing syncretic stories of its peoples.

What is my podcast playlist about?

The best in Vast Early American and General History. You’ll find everything for colonial topics to the islands of the Caribbean.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History

Why this podcast?

A very well researched demonstration in the value of historiography, Dan Carlin dives incredible deep into some of history’s most well known topics and seeks to illuminate their lesser know sides.

4.8

In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of listeners.

3. The Other States of America History Podcast

Why this podcast?

A program that slashes and dispels commonly held myths found throughout American history, it attempts to illuminate an even greater story based on the truth for future generations to enjoy.

American History is far more complicated than a yearlong High School class could ever teach you. This podcast will tell you the rest of that story, focusing on colonies you've never heard of, that may be at your front door, like New Netherland and New Sweden, New France, the Haudenosaunee and the lampooned "Articles of Confederation," that serve as footnotes in the history presented to you. Join Eric Yanis, a NYS Certified Social Studies and SWD teacher, as he guides you through the history left out of the textbook.
