<p>We’re living in unprecedented times. Maybe. In this show, Jody Avirgan (538, 30for30, TED) and historians Nicole Hemmer (Vanderbilt) and Kellie Carter Jackson (Wellesley) take one moment, big or small, from that day in U.S. political history and explore how it might inform our present –– all in about fifteen minutes. </p> <p>New episodes release Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

If you have a suggestion for a topic, get in touch. </p> <p>This Day In Esoteric Political History is a proud member of the Radiotopia podcast network from PRX.</p>
