Everything is a Primary Source
The analysis of a primary source helps us to learn about the time period and the place from which it came. Too often we limit the term "primary source" to mean just newspapers, letters, diaries and such, when in reality EVERYTHING, from toy packaging to movies, websites to toothpaste, restaurant menus to , well, podcasts, can be dissected. This podcast focuses on American Popular Culture and treats films, songs, food, comic books, toys, games, TV shows, clothing...& etc as artifacts waiting to inform us about the time period and society that produced and embraced them.To learn more about the process, see materials and follow the episodes, go to epspodcast.club Join the EPS Podcast Facebook Group to follow new episodes, see announcements and offer up suggestions for future episodes.
