For our every first episode we discuss the life of Calvin Leon Graham. The youngest American  to serve in WWII. We follow his heroic journey from how he was able to enlist at such a young age, to the naval battle of Guadalcanal, and the obstacles he had to overcome once he returned home.  

We are a history podcast for kids and about kids. Each episode my son and I will tell an inspirational story about a kid in history who has done something amazing. Our goal is to not only introduce kids to history but to inspire kids to challenge themselves to be great and dream big.
