  • Résumé

  • Welcome to "Public History with Jake & Justin," the podcast where the past is never far behind. Join us as we delve into the ever-changing world of public history. In this show we will examine how the public consumes history at museums, historic sites, national parks, battlefields and through popular culture. With over a decade of experience in public history, Jake has spent years sharing stories from the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania. His career as a public history began in Frederick, Maryland at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and online at WynningHistory.com and PennCivilWar.com. Joining him is colleague and friend, Justin Voithofer, a dedicated public historian with a rich background that includes time interpreting Civil War battlefields with the National Park Service and serving in the United States Army. Justin's unique perspectives from the front lines of history and his dedication to preserving our nation's legacy add compelling depth to our conversations. Together, we'll bring you engaging discussions on how history is portrayed and perceived in various forms of media — from the accuracy of film and television portrayals to the evocative narratives found in music, theater, and books. "Public History with Jake & Justin" is not just a podcast; it's a journey through the past as we uncover the truths, myths, and legends that continue to shape our world through conversations with friends, colleagues, and public history professionals from across the world. Tune in as we navigate the fascinating landscape of public history, where every story holds the power to inspire, educate, and provoke discussion. Welcome to our conversation.

    D-Day at 80
    Jun 27 2024

    This month marked the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France on D-Day and the resulting Battle of Normandy.

    In this episode of Public History with Jake and Justin, Justin and I discussed stories from D-Day and the meaning of this particular anniversary as we continue to lose the World War II generation to the ravages of time. We chat about how we first remember learning about D-Day and how our societal memory of D-Day and the Second World War has continued to evolve and shift in the eight decades since the conflict.

    In this episode we discuss:

    Vignettes from D-Day in our own research, including the Letters from War project here

    The "Gettysburg-ification" of World War II memory

    Losing the lived experience of the Second World War

    Complicating the narrative of the "Greatest Generation"

    And our Postscripts this week:

  • October Sky (1999)

    October Sky (1999)
    May 31 2024

    In this episode of Public History with Jake and Justin, we review one of our favorite movies about Sputnik, rocketry, coal mining, and West Virginia - the 1999 film "October Sky."

    This year marks 25 years since the film came out and we thought it would be the perfect time to talk about this film. It tells the story of Homer Hickam, a teenager from a mining town in West Virginia who becomes interested in science and rockets after watching the Soviet satellite Sputnik fly over his hometown of Coalwood, West Virginia.

    The film stars a young Jake Gyllenhaal in his first leading role, as well as Chris Cooper and Laura Dern.

    In this episode we discuss:

    The history behind the film October Sky

    Our continued obsession with West Virginia and space

    Why we both love this film from our childhood

    How this film properly tells the story of mining communities and people who live there

    And our Postscripts this week:

    Justin - Kyle Larson attempts the double

    Jake - Why the Indy 500 is one of the greatest sporting events in the world
