Others cover the news.
We uncover the history behind it.
We do this in weekly podcast conversations with eminent scholars and historians who explain and analyze the history behind current events. And we call this peeling the history behind our news.
Why is this important? Because news in America lacks historical perspective.
With more than 152 guest scholars hosted by Adel Aali, HbN is now in its 5th season with new episodes every Friday at 5 a.m., U.S. Eastern Time.
Visit the History Behind News YouTube channel for more videos of Adel and his guest scholars.
A message for Middle Eastern Americans: Don't let U.S. news media or Hollywood tell your story. And don't follow people who read a few books and are suddenly experts. In this program, I bring you the sources of Middle East analysis and history - 150 scholars (and counting) who distill their decades of research into an hour conversation with me to unravel the misperceptions that divide East and West and to clarify our common misconceptions about the Middle East - from its ancient empires to modern nations.
Visit our Middle East page for details.
Visit the Scholars Unravel Middle East YouTube channle for more videos of Adel and his guest scholars of the Middle East.
Our more than 150 podcast guests who have helped us interpret news and current events through the perspective of history are scholars from these and many other prestigious institutions:
Oxford, Yale, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Hoover Institution, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Princeton University, the Atlantic Council, Duke, Northwestern Law, Vanderbilt University, US Naval War College, Air Command and Staff College, Marine Corp University, UVA, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, NYU, Rice, Vanderbilt University, University of Chicago, Colgate University, UC Berkeley, UCSF, USC, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Israel Democracy Institute, University of Aberdeen, University of Navarra, University of Seville, Helsinki University, Diego Portales University (Chile), Lund University (Sweden), Near East University (Turkey), the Free University of Berlin, The Wall Street Journal, and many others.
Our guests include Pulitzer Prize winners, current and former senior reporters at The Wall Street Journal, former White House advisors and other high-ranking government officials. Many have testified in Congressional hearings and others frequently contribute to major media outlets and widely read publications, ranging from the BBC, NPR, PBS and CNN to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
History Behind News is an independent program. This means that Adel Aali and his team are not employed by anyone for all the work they put into producing HbN's podcast, posts, and upcoming features and products.
Basically, we rely on your support to continue our work in bringing you the history behind our news.
So thank you. Thank you for being a valuable part of our program.
