In this 10th Anniversary Special, Sean Graham catches up with the first 3 guests from the early days of the podcast to reflect on life as historians over the past decade. He starts by talking with Ian Milligan about his shift towards digital methodology, where he sees history going, and his advice for prospective graduate students. He then chats with Victoria Lamb Drover about how she got into administration, the benefits of being challenged in history courses, and how her studies influence her current work. From there, Aaron Boyes joins the show to reflect on his journey to the government, his conflicted feelings about grad studies, and the skills historians develop. Sean finishes the show by discussing his journey through history programs, the financial reality of historical study, and the podcast’s role in his career. He also thanks everyone who has ever listened, all the guests over the years, and the folks behind the scenes who have helped the show reach the decade mark.
