Listen "What Pop Culture Teaches Us About Our History (featuring Dr. Blake Ball)"
Episode Synopsis
Today we meet Dr. Blake Ball, historian and author of "Charlie Brown's America: The Popular Politics of Peanuts." We discuss Dr. Ball's use of popular culture to bridge the gap of the collective consciousness of his students and the history of our country. Dr. Ball's approach to of framing history through the lens of what's on our televisions, in our newspapers, and on our phones shows how approachable history can be for anyone, and we are lucky to see into his mind as we discuss the overlap of comic books, television, and film with politics, headlines, and healthy discourse.
