Archives and Anchovies: Everything Has a History

Archives and Anchovies is a history channel and podcast about WWII military history and the early American republic, told fast and without the textbook filter.

I’m James, a history enthusiast, not a historian or professor. I write, record, find the public-domain photos, edit and post every episode myself. No team, no writers’ room. Sources are in each video’s description.

This started as an audio-only podcast so my kids could someday hear my voice and show their kids what grandpa was like. Then I learned video too.

History gets better when we talk about it. If I get something wrong, tell me in a kind way. I’m not perfect and I will make mistakes (especially names!).

See, EVERYTHING has a history.
