An Impossible Interview II: CJ Killmer
from History Impossible · host Alexander von Sternberg
In this inaugural 2020 episode of History Impossible (and on the one year anniversary no less!), I sit down with CJ Killmer, host of the long-running and incredibly well-done Dangerous History Podcast. CJ has been one of my long-time inspirations for his capacity for detailed, deep dives into parts of history I literally had no interest in for most of my life (i.e. The American Civil War) and manage to completely draw me in with his nuanced, but strong takes. In this conversation, we discuss a wide range of topics, from anarchism to the Civil War's moral gray areas to the long-held notion of the American civic religion before moving on to get into the weeds as to why Woodrow Wilson just might be one of the most nefarious presidents in American history. It was a fun, in-depth, and incredibly illuminating conversation and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did having it.Music provided by Pudge and Punk Rock Opera.History Impossible has been made possible by the following generous supporters on Patreon and PayPal:Elias BorotaMatthew DakusGavin EdwardsPeter HauckTrevor LindborgJose MartinezJudy McCoidKostas MorosMolly PanJohn PisanoPJ RaderMartin ReddinStephen RoblemEmily SchmidtJake SmithMatthew WilsonRicky WortheyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/history-impossible--5634566/support.
