Before the Internet, There was Grandpa
from The Dave Bowman Show
There was a time when history was not written—it was spoken. Passed from elder to child, rabbi to disciple, warrior to scribe. It pulsed with breath, gesture, tone, and rhythm. But somewhere along the road to modernity, history put down the mic and picked up a pen. In this week’s episode of Dave Does History, we explore the great divide between oral tradition and written tradition, and why understanding the difference matters now more than ever.
