Hey friends! Apologies for the radio silence the last two weeks. I've had a few unexpected situations drop in my lap and I've been racing around taking care of that. But, we're back! Because you can't keep a good thing down, and this podcast and the students involved are most definitely a good thing. It has been my privilege to lead and guide this amazing group of people in these excursions into various areas of history.
This round table we chose to weigh in on various areas of the globe and the ancient civilizations that have left their mark on the world to this day. Thank you to all our student contributors! We could not do this without you: Amber Boxell, Aaron Ehlerding, Ryley Deputy, Joseph Connelly, Cheyenne Stoppenhagen, Kyle Gibson, Kyla Forkert, Samuel Stuart, Micheael Gerardot, Laurel Shriner, and Logan Krueger. You all make Tuesday's my favorite day of the week. Next episode we will have my interview with alumna Jessi Cortesi who comes back to the PFW campus after working through her Master's Degree at IUPUI and is now working with the ACPL in their Lincoln Collection. Until then, we appreciate you joining us, and, as always, have a good one listeners. Traci Henning-Kolberg President, History Club Executive Producer, Byte-Sized History

Happy Halloween!!! Our October roundtable discussion is a nod to this holiday as we talk about witches in history and in pop culture. This conversation could have gone on forever and we did, indeed, spend a decent chunk of time after the recording engaged in topics we didn't get to touch on in the recording. This is a huge topic, spanning centuries, which made it difficult to get to everything, but we sure tried!
I want to thank our students who show up each week and for these recordings, this wouldn't happen without you: Laurel Shriner, Aaron Ehlerding, Ryley Deputy, Megan McVay, Emilie McVay, our new friend Thomas, Ashley Masoner, Kyla Forkert, Cheyenne Stoppenhagen, Kyle Gibson, Joe Connely, Caleb Johnson, and Logan Krueger. I deeply appreciate the courteous, thoughtful, respectful discourse that takes place among all these people. I'm adding a couple videos here that talk further about witches and the history of Halloween, for anyone who is interested in deepening their knowledge on these topics.
The book that was read from at the beginning of the episode was Witchcraft in Europe 400-1700 Edited by Alan Charles Kors and Edward Peters, Second Edition. We also pulled information from the Malleus Maleficarum, The Hammer of Witches. You can read a synopsis of this book and its influence here. For a real deep dive, if you're a student at PFW, Dr. Suzanne LaVere is offering her course on Witchcraft and Witch Hunts Spring semester 2020.
Have a good one, listeners! Traci Henning-Kolberg President, History Club Executive Producer, Byte-Sized History
Welcome friends, to an episode you could only get from wonderfully geeked out movie and history enthusiasts. In honor of the spooky month of October, Senior Hunter Phillips and Junior Logan Krueger matched their deep appreciation of horror films in this conversation that digs into how the genre has evolved since the late 19th century. This episode has, by far, the most video links I've ever added, and I assure you, this is just a small portion of what all could be on here. They discussed several movies I had never heard, of as well as some I had and will never watch...like, "They Live"...nope. You gentlemen are braver than I am, and I commend you for it.
I am grateful for how well this episode came together, as well as how the other recordings have come together. There is an impressive amount of initiative, dedication, and follow through in this group. The cooperation among the students in the History Club and their dedication to his project has been powerfully motivating. There are still several more recordings finished and others that are scheduled to happen over the next several weeks. We continue to gain voices and various perspectives as we dive into the podcasting realm and that was always the goal. Thank you everyone! Enjoy the episode. Traci Henning-Kolberg Executive Producer, Byte-Sized History President, History Club This episode wasn’t on the schedule, but, hey, that’s how things go. We are still figuring out our workflow so that we are efficient and consistent. In the face of time constraints and whatnot, I did a quick-ish recording this afternoon to give some background to this podcast, the history club’s involvement, and how grateful I am for all the people who have stepped up to be a part of this project. It’s been fun and incredibly rewarding.
If all goes according to plan, we will have Hunter Philip’s and Logan Krueger’s recording on the history of horror films ready to go for Friday and then next week Tuesday we have our next History Club round table discussion on Witches, Witchcraft, and a few other spooky historical bits of goodness, which we will have released on the 31st. Thank you to everyone. I hope you like this little insight on how this podcast came to be and how we have had exactly the right people become a part of it. Music for all our episodes is found on the Free Music Archive's Website. This episode the songs featured are by artist Ketsa. We are so grateful for this superb collection of music to use for our episodes. Happy listening, Traci Henning-Kolberg President, History Club Executive Producer, Byte Sized History
Whether you know it or not, there's been a controversy over the celebration of Columbus Day for...a while. In particular, the indigenous people of North and South America feel strongly about celebrating a person that, in actuality, caused unfathomable harm and disruption to their ancestor's way of life.
A huge thank you to first time co-hosts and podcasters, Sophomores Paul Turrin and Nathan Gulley! Great job taking on a tricky topic and making this recording happen. We also offer our sincere appreciation to our amazing professors for taking time from their very busy schedules to contribute their opinions. Contributions came from Professors Jeffrey Malanson, Deborah Bauer, Suzanne LaVere, and David G. Schuster. We are grateful for your support!
