Welcome to the History Buffs Podcast Archive.
The History Buffs Podcast was founded in November 2015 by seven historians: the women of DIG as well as Katie Smyser, Tommy Buttaccio, and Dan Wallace. The name was a play on a “history buff” (lover of history) as well as “Buffalo,” where all seven were living at the time. Though the History Buffs Podcast feed will officially retire this fall, you can still enjoy the full archive of the History Buffs Podcast here.
