What up, gang?
I’m Miles. I teach world history at a high school in Ohio, and for years my students asked me the same thing: “But what was it actually like?”
So I packed my journal, put on whatever hat fits the century, and went to find out. I meet the people who were really there, I show you the bits the textbooks leave out, and I never, ever try to change what happens.
Why it’s different
Why our videos are different.
Every trip, every era: the same three promises.

Curious minds
Made for curious kids and the grown-ups watching with them. Honest about the hard bits, never gory, and always full of wonder.
