Historically High Podcast

Hosted by Historically High

Two hosts, 'Professor Chris' and 'Professor Adam,' offer an entertaining and often humorous look at diverse historical events.

The brief

This is a classic 'two buddies talking' history podcast. Each episode is a deep dive into a single topic, with the hosts narrating events and interjecting with personal reactions, modern analogies, and humorous asides. The 'higher perspective' in the title hints at a laid-back vibe, reflected in their Patreon-exclusive series on the history of drugs.

The show's distinctiveness lies in its blend of broad historical topics with a very relaxed, unscripted-feeling co-host dynamic. The 'Professor' personas create a playful contrast with the often irreverent and modern-day commentary.
