History, religion, democracy, & hope.

Adam Jortner has been teaching, researching, writing, and storytelling about American history for the last 20 years.

His stories are great and fun and true and not bummers.

They are stories you need to hear and will be glad you heard.

He’s written 3 books and lots of other stuff, and he still thinks the best way to get American history across is face to face and person to person.

You can hear his lectures at Audible.com, or get his books from any online bookseller. His podcast about the history of Christianity and race and taking a deep breath will be available this May.

And be good to each other!
