About the show

HistoryChatter offers an informed take on our shared pasts. Designed and performed by Anirban Bandyopadhyay (Ph.D.), a trained historian and writer, the podcast offers a perspective on the past that shows how multiple interpretations of our pasts and our histories emerge. HistoryChatter believes diversity is not, difference and that difference does not produce inferiority of superiority. More importantly, it believes the past is made of many stories, and many more stories about the past will never be known. Yet, the past is a necessity to understand how the present has come about and where it is heading. HistoryChatter is about stories about the past that walk us through the present. It believes  good history can be done with fun.Subscribe to "Historychatter" & receive updates about our latest episodes. Historychatter is an Ep.Log Media production.
