Podcast Overview

About Historical Diversions: The goal of the Historical Diversions podcast is to cover subjects that you wouldn’t normally think of as “history”, and to also cover subjects you might have learned about in school from a different angle. About History Over Drinks: History is also about those who lived it. Many experiences will never get written down and could be lost forever. The goal of History Over Drinks is to bring those stories to light. Interviews with experts and those who have a story to tell are on tap, and drinks might be served! Who knows? Maybe we’ll even learn something…
