Where can you listen?

Dr. Christine Contrada is a native New Yorker whose true passion is history.  She has taught countless historical topics over the years at elite liberal arts colleges, public research universities, inner-city and rural community colleges, in continuing education, and for study abroad programs.  No matter where she is, nothing brings her as much joy as getting an adamant naysayer excited about history - and that's the focus of the Christory podcast.

Her podcasts weave history and popular culture so she is always searching, wherever she is, for a hidden corner that has some spicy bit of historical significance to share.  Making any historical topic interesting is her favorite challenge.
