  • Investigating Presidential Power With AJ Bauckman
    Jul 2 2025

    AJ Bauckman, who runs the Instagram account @21stcent_history, and I connected recently to talk about Trump’s attacks on Iran. Merits of the attacks aside, we both were intrigued by the presidential power aspect of this conversation and decided to hop on Zoom and chat about it.

    We dive into how presidential power (and legislative power) has changed over the past 50 years, disagreements about the Executive's role in government, and much more!

    Disclaimer: This show is more political in nature. If that's not your jam, see you in the next one!

  • History Podcasting 101 with Reflecting History
    May 19 2025

    This show attempts to answer some of the questions I had (or address things I didn't know I'd need to know) before starting Compendium.

    I'm talking with Matt from Reflecting History (a podcasting OG) about what you're signing up for by starting a history podcast, how to research, how to process audio, and what to expect when you begin.

    It's a great conversation, and it's only Part 1. The second half of our conversation is on the Reflecting History feed, so go check that out! We talk over there about what the great podcasters do so well, opening and closing lines, how we can know history happened, and much more.

  • Hell in a Small Place V
    May 14 2025

    Nixon and Kissinger think they’ve cracked the code. But handing off the war to South Vietnam proves no easier than it was for the three administrations before them, because some things change, but the quagmire doesn’t.
