About Historians At The Movies
Reckoning with Jason Herbert is a long-form conversation podcast about history, the outdoors, and the stories that shape who we are. Each episode features historians, writers, scientists, and thinkers in wide-ranging conversations about wild places, forgotten pasts, cultural memory, and the forces—human and natural—that continue to shape our lives. This isn’t a news cycle show or a debate podcast. It’s a space for reflection, curiosity, and serious conversation—meant to be listened to slowly. If you’re interested in history beyond textbooks, the outdoors beyond recreation, and stories that linger long after they’re told, this show is for you.

[…] You know, we've only had this now as a federal holiday for a very short time, and there's been a lot of pushback about this from certain parts of the nation. And I'm like, this is such a special day. Can we talk about, like, what Juneteenth means, at least on a personal level to you guys? I don't want to speak for everybody here, but, like, What does Juneteenth mean to you guys? Well, it means to sell t-shirts. Come on, man. That's a great looking t-shirt. They've got me about five or six of them. I'm a double X. Juneteenth is about the ancestors. It's about honoring our ancestors. I started telling you a story about this Juneteenth, the Seda. […]
