Anti-Social Studies — History
Anti-Social Studies

History class, but make it make sense for your group chat.

Anti-Social Studies is the history podcast for people who follow the news, have opinions, and never quite got the full story in school. Each season takes on a different slice of the past — World History, U.S. History, and the current events that are basically history happening in real time — and breaks it down for people walking in with zero background and zero patience for boring. No jargon, no gatekeeping, no assuming you already know who these people are or why any of this matters. Just the context you actually need, delivered like your favorite teacher going on a very fun tangent.

Hosted by Emily Glankler — 12-year high school history teacher turned full-time history-explainer — Anti-Social Studies exists on one belief: the world would be a better place if everyone paid a little more attention in history class. Consider this your second chance.

New episodes contextualize the chaos, one historical tangent at a time.
