About the podcast

Al Zambone hosts Historically Thinking, a series about the practice of understanding the past. Guests include historians and other people working with historical ideas. The programme treats historical thinking as a disciplined intellectual activity. Curiosity, rigor, and humility are among the values it emphasizes. Conversations examine how that practice can shape a person’s understanding of the wider world.
