Say It With History Podcast

Introducing Season 1 of Say It With History: Conversations That Shaped the Past. In this podcast, I talk with authors, artists, and storytellers whose work is rooted in history. From unsung trailblazers to cultural icons, these conversations show how the past still shapes the present. Check out the trailer here!

Hollywood’s Golden Age was not all glitz and glamour. Author Martin Turnbull joined me to talk about the personal sacrifices behind fame, the power of the studio system, and how he captures those realities in his writing. Tune in here.

In this episode, I talk to Voncher Walker about the inspiring work she and her brother Debron are doing to restore the Eleanor Roosevelt School—the last Rosenwald School ever built. We explore the school's origins, the role of FDR and the Warm Springs community, and their powerful efforts to preserve this landmark of Black history. Check it out here. 

Community history is more than memories—it’s a way of seeing the world. Public historian and preservationist Shae Corey joined me to talk about her Holy Local Podcast, the power of oral history, the impact of spiritual activism on D.C. neighborhoods, and how she captures community voices through storytelling.
