Today, we have a crossover episode for you. In my other podcast program, The History of California Podcast, I teach about the history of the state of California and interview leading scholars in the field. The podcast I am bringing you today is with Dr. John Mack Farager. An emeritus professor from Yale, Dr. Farager is the author of many books, but today we are focused on his most recent book California: An American History, which I think will become the popular history of California and I hope makes its way into classrooms across California. If you enjoy this episode, you can find my program, History of California Podcast, on all the usual podcast platforms.
