Today, we’re bringing you something special: a new podcast by C13Originals Studios and Jon Meacham called “History is US.”

History is US is a six-part series that journeys back to face the truths about race at the heart of the American story. From the aftermath of the Civil War, to the mid-twentieth century struggle for freedom, to the election of Barack Obama, to current day racial reckoning, “History is US” asks questions about who we are as a nation, what race might reveal about our current crisis, and where we go from here.

You know how every day someone asks “how are you?” And even if you’re totally dying inside, you just say “fine,” so everyone can go about their day? This show is the opposite of that. Hosted by author (It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)) and notable widow (her words) Nora McInerny, this is a funny/sad/uncomfortable podcast about talking honestly about our pain, our awkwardness, and our humanness, which is not an actual word.
