Then and Now Podcast: 100 Years of Global History and Culture: (S10.E8.) Unit 8 World War Two

Then and Now is a podcast project with an introductory global history and culture course at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. The podcast title reflects the connections between events that happened back then to events now.Since this is a group project, many student voices are heard on the 15 to 30 minute episodes. Topics include connection of today's newspaper headlines with the past, review of textbook chapters, study strategies, interviews with community people related to a topic in history, and music from independent music artists. Every show features some of the best independent music artists whose lyrics often relate to the episode's history topic. Sometimes we also feature special music shows that showcase music from a particular country and relate how it reflects the nation's culture. Share comments by sending email to arendale@umn.edu
