A Super Bowl Preview! (if by the Super Bowl you mean Ohio State football and Ohio as a place)

Hanif Abdurraqib (@NifMuhammad) is an accomplished poet, essayist, and cultural critic who has a new book coming out, Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest. He's also from Columbus and an Ohio State fan, so yeah, we made him talk about Craig Krenzel, the Ohio-Florida mirror relationship, and where he was when the Buckeyes lost to Purdue this year. We also talked about children being mean to Tom Brady because it's good when children are mean to Tom Brady. Tell your children to be mean to Tom Brady, please!

David McCullough on the Pioneers Who Defined America

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough discusses his latest book The Pioneers, how it fulfilled his lifelong dream to write a nonfiction version of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, and why he wants his book to serve as reminder of fundamental American values.  He tells the story of the New England minister who played an instrumental role in the creation of the Ohio Settlement, how he fought to outlaw slavery in the territory, and how his son carried on his fight for abolition a few years later.  He talks about the wealthy Irish couple who built a paradise on an island in the Ohio River and how they lost everything when they became embroiled in the Aaron Burr treason scandal. McCullough reveals what he’s learned in his 50 plus years of studying history, the importance of hindsight, and why historical figures feel like old friends. Order The Pioneers: The Heroic Story of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West on Amazon, Audible or wherever books are sold.  This podcast was sponsored by Ancestry.com and Soundtrap for Storytellers.  Subscribe to Kickass News on Apple Podcasts and leave us a review, follow us on Twitter at @KickassNewsPod, and take our listener survey at www.podsurvey.com/kick.
