We tell the weird, wonderful, and whimsical stories that make up the world's history, but we do it in our own way. We are HISTORISTS. This is a podcast geared for AP World History, AP U.S. History, and AP European students, but is accessible for anyone else interested in history. It's the world's history, told our way.
