The Sons of History:
The podcast of historical significance.

History is constantly being made. If we aren't knowledgeable of the past, we can end up making the same mistakes with the same results. Every week, we bring our historical knowledge, our sarcastic humor, and our 80's and 90's pop culture references to create history's greatest podcast (or close to it).

Hosted by - Dustin Bass & Alan Wakim

About The Show —

History makes us who we are—as a society and as individuals. Without knowing our history—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and understanding it, we relegate ourselves to building a future without a foundation. It is no secret that the current American education system—secondary and post-secondary—is failing our youth and has been for decades. Our objective is to assist in the country's course correction.
