It's Not Even Past

Evan Tucker

It's Not Even Past: A History of the Distant Present is a history podcast looking at the world we currently live in, built in the mode of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History, but without the extended run time. The news today is troubling, and though much of it seems to come out of nowhere, there is actually a mostly logical course that has carried us to the headlines of today. Evan Tucker knows the story behind the headlines and wants to help you understand that many of these stories have been a long time coming. The podcast is being hosted by Podomatic and will be available on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, Google Play, and at audio.aois21.com. read less
