[Another Spring semester is upon us, and with it my annual Spring semester previews. This time I’ve focused on one skill I’m excited to be teaching as part of each of these courses. Leading up this post with a request for help with my next scholarly project!]
I’ve got
some steady public scholarly work that I very much plan to continue in 2025,
from this blog to my biweekly Saturday
Evening Post Considering History
column to my #ScholarSunday
Threads newsletter. But my first experience creating a public scholarly narrative history
podcast was extremely enjoyable, and so I’m definitely looking to create
another!
We can call
that a second season of The Celestials’ Last Game if we’d like, and I
might because of branding and whatnot (he said very knowledgeably), but I
firmly believe I’ve done what I can with that particular history so this second
season would have to focus on a new subject in any case. I’ve got one idea, which
is the really fascinating
story of the early 20th century barnstorming baseball team the
House of David (to keep the baseball thread going, natch). But I don’t yet
know enough about that story to know if there’s a 9-Inning podcast there, so…
…this
space for rent! Or rather, as in this blog’s long and proud history of crowd-sourced
posts, this space for y’all’s suggestions. Any ideas for other histories or stories—whether
related to baseball, sports stories, or some other under-remembered part of
American history—will be very welcome! Share ‘em below, or shoot me an email (brailton@fitchburgstate.edu), and
thanks in advance!
Next
series starts Monday,
Ben
PS. You
know what to do!
