Why History Matters (Yes, Even That Bit You Slept Through in School)
History isn’t just dusty dates and names you had to memorise for exams — it’s the backbone of who we are, how we live, and where we’re going next.
In this episode of Life’s Side Quests, I’m diving into why history still matters — and not just in the academic sense. From ancient civilizations to 20th-century pop culture, I explore how our past shapes our present and why understanding it helps us navigate the messiness of modern life.
We’ll also look at the way we consume history — through books, films, video games, reenactments, museums, and memes — and why these things keep the past alive in ways that actually stick. Because knowing where we’ve been helps us figure out where we’re headed — and also gives us some cracking stories along the way.
