This week for the Spotcast Sunday feature, I am reviewing the history podcast, That Wasn’t in My Textbook. This podcast debuted in June 2020 and comes with an explicit language warning. There are 30 episodes to listen to at the time of writing. The following overview is provided from the Apple Podcast page: That Wasn’t In My Textbook with Toya from Harlem, is a digital lesson on the history of things you always wish you learned from that boring bulky textbook -without the boring pretentious language and whitewashed topics. It’s raw, thought-provoking and captivating. This biweekly podcast show will include dynamic research topics, Toya’s cultural commentary, interviews with culture creators, and entrepreneurs that will speak to the ‘History of’ their area of expertise. Topics will range from the history of curating to the history of weed. We’ll reimagine history, because as you know, history isn’t just about what happened before us, its what’s happening this very second!!! Listen to your digital textbook that makes learning fun and fulfilling.
I love this podcast. It gives you important things to know about history that I never learned in school. I love all the background and cultural context given for each topic talked about. The structure and format of the podcast make the information easy to follow and digestible. I highly recommend this podcast to those who want to learn some lesser-known things about history that still are at play today.
I give this podcast 5 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Movie Monday feature, I am reviewing the documentary film, Schitt’s Creek: Best Wishes, Warmest Regards. Next week for the Spotcast Sunday feature, I am reviewing the society & culture podcast, Baby Mamas No Drama. Until then keep listening on; Nerd out!
