📻 WEEKLY PODCAST SHARING #5
Hey CEMSies~
When dealing with a difficult present, it might actually be comforting to turn to the past: to revisit other moments when our society has endured extraordinary changes, upheavals, and crises, in an effort to gain perspective and insight. This week, we would like to recommend a history podcast to you: 🤩🤩.
On NPR's weekly history podcast Throughline, the hosts dig into the back story behind current events and hot topics, show how past events led to current headline-making moments, such as the 1918 flu🦠, America’s opioid epidemics💊, and the history of militarization at the U.S.-Mexico border🇺🇸🇲🇽. Though politics loom large, the show makes a concerted effort to examine history from all different angles—from music to technology to religion to sports—and also explores the historical events of a host of countries including India, Iran, China, Ireland, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia🌍 We must heed the past as we consider what it means to live in the present, these are stories you can feel and sounds you can see from the moments that shaped our world😎
