History that Doesn’t Suck

Since 2017 Professor Greg Jackson of Utah Valley University has been producing a podcast on American History that is entertaining and highly accurate. I recommend it without reservation.

I strongly encourage you to go to https://www.patreon.com/historythatdoesntsuck and support the work that Dr. Jackson is generously providing for free. It takes considerable time, hard work, and expense to produce a podcast of this quality. The team behind this one deserves our support!

Here are the titles from the first season:

0: Preamble

1: That one time when George Washington sort of triggered an international war

2: Patrick Henry and Boston get pissed about taxes

3: “Learn my sh*t house!” The Boston Massacre

4: “Boston harbor a tea-pot this night:” The Boston Tea Party

5: “Delenda est Bostonia:” a Congres, Paul Rides, & the first shot at Lexington

6: “The shot heard round the world”

7: An olive branch rejected, Tom’s a royal Pain(e), & the siege of Boston

8: From Independence to NY (meeting A. Ham, Nathan Hale & Charles Less is a sneaky bastard)

9: (Almost) everything important in 1777––Saratoga, Lafayette & George returns Gen. Howe’s dog

10: Dueling, Life sucks at Valley Forge, von Steuben’s cool & the battle of Monmouth

11: Southern discomfort: Savannah & Charlestown captured, slavery, massacres, & 1779’s sundries

12: An American Judas betrays & Nathanael Greene saves!

13: The world turns upside down at Yorktown
