Civics & Coffee is a weekly history podcast serving up the stories, people, and events that shaped the United States — usually in the time it takes to enjoy your morning cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your thing).
Hosted, researched, and produced by me — a trained historian with a master’s degree in U.S. history — Civics & Coffee breaks down America’s complex past into short, engaging episodes made for busy people who still crave substance. Whether you're a lifelong learner or just starting your history journey, this show brings clarity, context, and the occasional laugh to topics both familiar and forgotten.
Each Saturday, I deliver quick, informative, and occasionally humorous episodes that make history approachable, even if you haven’t cracked open a textbook in years.
Alongside solo episodes, I also feature conversations with historians, authors, and fellow podcasters who are doing fascinating work to make history accessible—and, dare I say it, fun. Past guests include Presidential Historian Lindsay Chervinsky and Hollywood writer/producer Rob Edwards.
And the best part? Some episodes come directly from you, the listener. Curious about the World's Fairs? Want to know more about H.H. Holmes? I have you covered. Want to learn about a topic I haven't covered yet? Send it my way.
Ranked #14 in Best American History Podcasts and #53 in Best History Podcasts by Million Podcasts, Civics & Coffee is your go-to show for history that’s smart, succinct, and never boring.
So grab your coffee, peeps. Let’s do this.
