#1. What's in a Name?

from Past is Prologue Podcast Hosted by History behind today's headlines

In this first episode, we're thinking a lot about the naming (and re-naming) we see in the news -- of streets, schools, sports mascots, historic sites, even people -- and realize that there's a history to naming. We also explain the backstory to the name for this podcast and introduce its home in the "Historic Triangle" of Hampton Roads, Virginia. Host: Andrew J. Falk Guest: Sheri Shuck-Hall Past is Prologue is a history podcast that provides the public with the background behind the day's headlines, and offers much-needed context to understand the significance of current events that people observe around them. It seeks to contribute to the public conversation in an engaging, informative, accessible, and constructive way. It's produced by the Department of History in the College of Arts & Humanities at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. We welcome your inquiries and feedback at [email protected].
