Great news! TGS just launched our discounted annual memberships AND we are taking part in the Multitude 30% off sale - so if you've wanted to support us but felt like the monthly cost was a little steep, sign up in the next two weeks for a juicy price cut.

Hey friends, something crazy happened
November 13, 2025 at 6:13 PM
TODAY ON TGS: we’re joined by the incredible Vanessa Williamson @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social to talk about death, taxes, and Martin Witherspoon Gary - a Confederate general who was willing to cause a lot of the former to avoid the latter. It’s a wild ride.

A very auspicious day!!! @mkn.bsky.social

An auspicious discovery in the campus bookstore today, the day of Matt’s @profgabriele.com new pod @americanmedieval.bsky.social, which you should go listen to

Are you an early career humanities scholar looking for next year's plans? Have you dreamed of having an office only a few doors down from mine?

Great news - the Whitney Humanities Center is hiring a postdoc working within the broader theme of 'Rot: Politics, Aesthetics, Regeneration'

I’ve been invited to interview Cundill Prize finalists for the pod (!!!!) and I am very excited for today’s recording 😌

Very shaken by the discovery that Brett Goldstein, Phil Wang, and I are all in the same video. The live show was so incredibly fun and I am so grateful to everyone who came to watch us be silly historians together!

THURSDAY ON TGS! I’m joined by Vanessa Williamson @vanessawilliamson.bsky.social to talk about this former Confederate general, who had three big passions in life: taxes, murder, and racism. Not necessarily in that order.

Let the great tax-pilling begin.

I know romanticizing work is Bad™ but you have to admit this (with Yusef Lateef playing softly in the background) is kind of a vibe.

The TGS live show really brought up some important stuff for me
November 7, 2025 at 7:35 PM
NOW AVAILABLE! The recording of the first (and probably only) edition of TGS Live: The Worst Wing, featuring professional president-knowers Nicole Hemmer @pastpunditry.bsky.social and Kevin Schultz. What a way to mark a year since The Day That Shall Not Be Named.

Sometimes I’ll say “America is and has always been basically fine with Nazis” and people feel very strongly about that. So here’s an excerpt from a 1976 Yale Daily News letter to the editor, defending a man outed as a former Nazi-employed propagandist

Did you know if you host a fish pie dinner party you’ll wake up in a socialist America?

You guys I just realized I have a podcast where we talk about horrible dead people and something that may or may not be relevant happened to Dick Cheney today

An undeniably Frog & Toad-core day

Did I stutter?

THIS THURSDAY ON TGS: it’s the live show recording you’ve all been clamoring for! I invented a sadistic game to make Prof. Nicole Hemmer @pastpunditry.bsky.social and Prof. Kevin Schultz discuss rubbing Vaseline on presidents. There is a winner but really we all lose in the end. 😌
