About HTDS and Professor Jackson

History That Doesn’t Suck! (HTDS) is a bi-weekly podcast delivering a seriously researched, hard-hitting sur- vey of American history told through entertaining stories. Since 2017 Professor Greg Jackson has been un- spooling a thrilling narrative that started with the Revolution and will (eventually) go right up to the present. Jackson’s history-telling is underscored by an original music score and immersive sound design that transports listeners back in time to familiar and lesser-known events populated by the fascinating diversity of people who contributed to the ongoing story of a nation “conceived in Liberty” and high ideals of equality and op- portunity.

Jackson holds a PhD in history, is a tenured Associate Professor and Senior Fellow in National Security Stud- ies, as well as Fellow of Integrated Studies at Utah Valley University. He is also a frequent commentator in film and TV documentaries. HTDS is apolitical with Professor Jackson’s only agenda being to make scholarly researched American history more accessible and educational through entertaining stories.
