Next Episode (DWH 3.7) - Reddit's r/AskHistorians

Join us Friday May 12 at 7pm (ET) to talk about doing good history on the internet and public outreach to 1.8 MILLION readers

Drinking with Historians concludes! Join your hosts Matt Gabriele (Virginia Tech) and Varsha Venkatsubramanian (UC-Berkeley) as they chat over drinks with historians about movies, music, and maybe even some history. Like Drunk History but with historians and (perhaps) a bit less drunk and a bit more history.

This upcoming episode, we’ll be talking with some of the moderators from Reddit’s r/AskHistorians. This huge community of curious readers and posters is one of the most amazing venues for public history around. We’ll talk with them about how they do it, why they do it, and what was the worst thing ever put on the internet (probably).

Cheers!
