I'm Clyde Brittelle, a teenage history buff. I've been a fan of history for as long as I can remember. Whenever someone has asked me what I want to do when I grow up, I've said "I want to be a historian". But then I realized I didn't have a firm grasp on what being a historian entails. I thought a great medium to use to learn about what it means to be a historian would be a podcast. This podcast gives me a chance to help others like me learn about historians and their work and it allows me to talk with historians about their research, writing, daily life, and everything else that has to do with being a historian.

I decided to have two types of episodes on "How to be a historian", the first interviews with historians. Each of these interviews will be split into two episodes, one about their journey to becoming a historian and the other focusing on their area of expertise, centering around a piece that they have created (whether that be a book, documentary, article, etcetera). The second type of episodes will be 10-15 minutes and cover different historical topics I find interesting and want to discuss. If you’ve ever wondered what being a historian entails, or if you’re just an overall history lover, then I hope this podcast appeals to you!
