The Calling History Podcast is an unscripted, interview style phone conversation with the heroes, the villains, and the great thinkers of history. It’s an opportunity to ask them anything, in their time, while they are living it. How did Benjamin Franklin feel about leaving his comfortable life of fame and excess in London as a loyal British citizen to risk it all and return to America as a rebel? How did record setting Louise Thaden feel about racing and beating Amelia Earhart and yet her name is almost unknown? Who is Jack the Ripper and why did he enter the scene so violently and then disappear like a whisper? Subscribe now and join this entertaining, interesting, and unpredictable journey back in time as we learn who these people really were and answer the question, “If you could call anyone in history, what would you ask them?”Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

    We first heard Robin Pease in her magnificent portrayal of Sacagawea. In this episode, she brings Sally Hemings to life, offering a powerful glimpse into what it must have been like to be enslaved by a president who demanded more than a clean kitchen and pressed trousers. Thank you, Robin, for giving us an unforgettable experience.
