History in the Morning

History is important because it helps us develop an understanding of the past, learn from our mistakes, provide critical thinking, build empathy through studying the lives and struggles of people, movements, and institutions, understand eras, enhance cultural understanding, develop transferrable skills, provide identity, promote critical thinking and become inspired. And if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it. Each weekday, I, Peter the Knowledge Guy, provide an in-depth look at 5 different historic events, summarize notable events in sports and business, and share a notable movie clip, song and motivational quote to help get your day started in a historic way. History in the Morning is like a morning news show, and a newspaper with the general news, sports, money and lifestyle sections, but history-themed. Watch and listen to History In the Morning, premiering May 16. New episodes will be released LIVE every weekday morning at 7AM ET. Watch new episodes live weekdays at 7AM Eastern Time on video platforms like X, Twitch, YouTube and Rumble, and don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
