Let's Get Historical
Welcome to Let’s Get Historical, a podcast with a mission to bring humanity back to history. History is often presented as a two-dimensional timeline filled with key dates and events. Personally, I see history as the interwoven experiences of people who are much like us. My name is Jackie Kossoff and I am a multi-passionate entrepreneur, writer, traveler and history lover. I believe learning about people who experienced and shaped history allows us to connect more deeply to the world around us and to our fellow human beings–both past and present.
