Welcome to the launch of AMERICAN MADE, Matt’s student-centered history podcast that proves the past doesn’t have to be boring — especially for middle-grade listeners (8-12 yrs old).
Each episode gives you a story-driven dive into the people, moments, and big ideas that shaped our country. With parents, teachers, and homeschoolers in mind, this content is perfect for car rides, classrooms, and co-ops.
Thanks for listening, enjoy the show!
