About 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.

Five midterm elections that changed the course of U.S. History
Published 21 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] This party was different from its Whig predecessors, and it actually took a stance on slavery. They didn't want it to extend to any new parts of the U.S. territory. This is a big question, considering that the U.S. had just won 500,000 square miles of territory from Mexico, and new settlers in the Gold Rush, 49ers, were already flocking to the West, some of them bringing enslaved people along with them. The new Republican ideology was free soil, free labor, free men, but don't think that they were abolitionists. They mostly wanted to protect the new territories from slavery so that white men would have the opportunity to buy land and find labor opportunities without having to compete with enslaved people.
