I want to know who we are, where we’ve been, and where we are going. I want to hear about the moments in our lives that make us happy, sad, overwhelmed, ecstatic, the interconnectedness of us all.

High School History Recap William H Palk and Colin du Plessis The High School History Recap podcast was started by two passionate teachers from South Africa who realised the value of taking history teaching and learning beyond the confines of the textbook and classroom. Their recipe includes constructive conversations with learners and experts alike. William and Colin investigate topics covered in most history classrooms but also ask questions about how best to teach and learn these topics. They cover the "what to teach", "how to teach", "how we learn", and "thinking tools" of history teaching and learning. Find them on any podcast player platform like Apple or Spotify.
