About History Hack
We don't always have an hour or so to spare. In this new, short-form podcast, Alex and Matt interview an author, gameshow style, and they have fifteen minutes on the clock to convince you to buy their new book. With a minute to go, the alarm sounds and your hosts will throw out the meanest, saddest comment they think the internet will come up with about the book and the author gets a chance to respond. Patreon members get extra time: 15 more minutes in which you get to see behind the scenes and find out how the book was written.

Published 17 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Geography plays its part as well, doesn't it? I think you make the case for that. Yeah, in 1994, U.S. soccer gave Rienus Michels, the famous Dutch coach who invented total football with Johan Cruyff, they gave him some money and told him to go travel the country with his wife and said, you know, just go watch soccer. Go all up and down the country and go talk to everybody. Go see what you find out and write a report. And he came back and he said, here's your issue. you're not a country, you're a continent, which is prophetic in lots of different ways.
