Past Present

Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, Cynthia Greenlee, Neil J. Young, and Nicole Hemmer, editors.

Created in 2015 by historians Natalia Mehlman Petrzela. Neil J. Young and Nicole Hemmer, Past Present is a weekly conversational podcast that turns hindsight into foresight. Going beyond Twitter hot takes and cable news sound bites, we think that every headline has a history – and every listener is a historian.
