Our mission is to provide our listeners with the facts of US History. Our podcasts avoid pushing a political agenda and instead have a “nopinion” outlook.
We believe people are tired of being told what and how to think about a topic. US History Repeated is straight up history. Listen to the information provided, take your time to decide where you fall on the issue. Being informed is essential. Our first season tackled the essentials for understanding HOW the government of the United States was created and HOW it works.
We cover events in US History and how major world events impacted the United States and its policies. We hope we inspire our listeners to want to learn more about the people, places and events that have shaped our great nation. Give us a listen, history never sounded so good!
US History Repeated began in 2020. We started our podcast because we felt there was a lack of knowledge among citizens, as well as maybe a little too much apathy. Knowledge is power.
We live in an age where there is so much information at our fingertips. There is no excuse “not to know”, when all you have to pay is attention. When it comes to history, oftentimes you have opinions being masqueraded as facts. This is why we started our podcast. No bias, no political agenda, just straight up history. We wanted our podcast to be a source of trusted information.
Co-host Jimmy LaSalle saw the need for a podcast that would do just that. He encouraged Jeananne to bring her love and excitement for history to the masses.
In every episode of US History Repeated, we discuss important historical and political concepts that are essential to understanding and discussing U.S. history and politics. When Jeananne Xenakis began her teaching career, she found her students loved the stories behind the people and events in history. It’s the stories that get people interested and often, what they remember.
Our podcast happened to coincide with the shutdown caused by the Covid19 pandemic. For the first time, teachers and students alike found themselves learning and teaching remotely. Teachers across the country started using our episodes to supplement their lessons. When they returned to the classroom, they continued to use our lessons in school or even to assign them for homework to prepare for the next topic.
We love hearing from educators who use our episodes and we especially love the opportunity to speak with students and discuss and debate the episodes they have listened to. Countless requests came in for lesson plans to go along with our episodes. We created a new page on our website for teachers to upload lesson plans and best practices for episodes.
