TTHN Ep 0 - Introduction

Welcome to The Tennessee History Nerd.This podcast is a labor of love—an exploration of the places, people, and stories that make Tennessee what it is. From quiet cemeteries and forgotten landmarks to well-known events seen in a new light, this project is built on the belief that history isn’t distant… it’s all around us.In this introductory episode, I share where this journey begins, what shaped my interest in Tennessee history, and what you can expect as we move forward.At its core, this podcast is built on five ideas:Resurrection, Recollection, Rectification, Relationships, and Responsibility.It’s about bringing forgotten stories back to life, revisiting the ones we think we know, restoring depth where it’s been lost, connecting people to the places around them, and preserving these stories so they don’t disappear.This is Tennessee’s story—told one place, one person, one moment at a time.🎙️ CreditsHosted by Big John SummersProduced by Summers Media EnterprisesMusic by Big John Summers📣 Follow & SupportFollow The Tennessee History Nerd on Facebook, Instagram, and X for additional content, including on-location videos and historical insights from around the state of Tennessee as well as other places that bear relevance.Support the show on Patreon for:Early access to episodesAd-free listeningExclusive bonus content, including full-length interviews🔗 Links🎧 Support the show on Patreon (early access, bonus content, interviews):https://www.patreon.com/sSupport the show by subscribing to Patreon!Check out our sister podcast Dauphin Island DiariesAdvertise with us!  [email protected] out merchandise from The Tennessee History Nerd.   www.summersmediaenterprises.com/merchSubscribe to Patreon   Patreon.com/summersmediaenterprisesIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the show, share it with someone who loves history, and leave a review—it helps more folks discover the stories of the Volunteer State.Love what you're hearing?
