Been There, Done That.
8 explosive moments. 1 urgent message.
Greg's new book revisits 8 explosive moments in American history to make a simple, urgent case: today's political climate may feel dark, but it's not unprecedented. We've been there. We've done that. And our history shows us what we can overcome.
For this Nashville stop on the book tour, Greg is joined by Dr. Ben Sawyer — host of SiriusXM's The Road to Now podcast and Senior Instructor of History at MTSU — for a one-hour conversation, an audience Q&A, and a book signing afterward.
★ What to Expect ★
" Today's political climate may feel dark, but it's not unprecedented. We've been there, we've done that — and our history shows us what we can overcome.
★ Why Greg Jackson ★
The history teacher you wish you'd had —
for one evening in Nashville.
He puts the story back in history.
Greg's own words: "I'm putting the 'story' back in 'history' while keeping it so rigorous and entertaining you can't help but learn everything you need to know about US history." That's exactly how listeners describe it — sound design, accents, music, character. History as it actually happened to people.
A real PhD historian — and painfully apolitical.
Dr. Jackson is Utah Valley University's America 250 Professor in the Center for Constitutional Studies and a Senior Fellow in National Security Studies. In his words: "I am absolutely, to every extent possible, apolitical." In a media landscape full of hot takes, fans across the spectrum say it's the rarest, most welcome thing he does.
4.7 stars. 6,200+ reviews. Top history podcast in America.
HTDS is consistently ranked among the top American history podcasts. Listeners restart it. Teachers use it in classrooms. Fourth-graders ask for it on car rides. One father wrote in that the podcast brought him and his estranged adult son back together.
Trusted by the people who make the documentaries.
You've seen Greg on the HISTORY® Channel three-night Abraham Lincoln event — executive produced by Pulitzer Prize-winning Doris Kearns Goodwin and featuring former President Barack Obama. He's also appeared with Peyton Manning, with Dan Aykroyd, and on National Geographic's Secrets Declassified. He's a TED speaker. The live show is where it really clicks.

What listeners keep telling us.
"I binged the entire archive between February and April, and now endure the two-week torture between subsequent episodes."
— Apple Podcasts listener
This is a masterclass in history telling.
I love the production quality — the mood-setting music, the immersive script, the sound effects, and his willingness to act out the parts with accents.
As a history teacher who refuses to use terrible history textbooks, this show really helps infuse stories and facts into my teaching.
I've restarted the podcast four times. I saw the live show in my hometown a couple years ago and I'm going to see it again in a few weeks.
Audiences walk out going, 'Oh my gosh, I guess we're not the first ones to have a hard time.'
