The Stories We Tell: A History Podcast 
Hosted by Drs. Jamie Mize and Justina Licata 

The Stories We Tell utilizes biography to explore historical memory. Each episode considers the historical narratives and legacies associated with diverse historical figures. To investigate the “stories we tell,” this podcast asks questions like: how does society remember a person, and how does that memory shape our understanding of the past and, perhaps more importantly, the present? Our first season launched explores a variety of historical figures, including Pocahontas, Pauli Murray, William Apess, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Malcolm X.
