A history interview podcast
Long-form conversations with historians, leaders, and changemakers — recovering the stories and moments that shaped our world, one rewind at a time.
I sit down with historians, journalists, leaders, and changemakers to uncover the stories and moments that shaped our world — bringing history to life through conversations that connect past and present.
Most history gets flattened into dates and headlines. Replay the Rewind does the opposite: it slows down and asks the people who lived near a moment what it actually felt like, and why it still matters.
Each episode is researched and written before a single question is asked. The result is long-form, unhurried, and built for the questions that don't fit inside a 60-second news clip.
With Dr. Al Acres · Georgetown Art Historian
A conversation exploring how art may predate language itself — and how images first gave early people a way to give shape to their ideas, fears, and needs.
With Dr. Kurt Newman · Former CEO, Children's National Hospital
On the Vietnam era, a formative experience inside a hospital, and the path that redirected one man's ambition from public policy to hands-on patient care.
With Michael Beschloss · Presidential Historian
On being the first outsider to hear Lyndon Johnson's 700 hours of secret tapes — and how private recordings turn presidents from cardboard cutouts into three-dimensional human beings.

Founder, host & producer
I'm a student with a deep interest in history, politics, and the way the past keeps shaping the present. I research every episode, write the questions, conduct the interviews, and work with an editor in production.
Replay the Rewind started as a way to share my belief that learning history makes life richer. Along the way it became something more — a sustained conversation across generations, built around the simple act of being listened to.
