About History Behind News:

Understanding News Through History

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. 

We call this peeling the history behind the news.


Why is this important? Because American news woefully lacks context.


With more than 175 interviews with eminent scholars from around the world hosted by Adel Aali, HbN is now in its 5th season with new episodes every other Friday at 5 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time.
