our purpose
the beginning of it all:
As an eager high school sophomore looking to expand my passion for history to others, I was inspired by my mom's podcast to begin my own. With just a laptop, a hand-held mic, and basic editing software and knowledge, I began posting episodes every other Friday to keep it manageable alongside being a full-time student.
Why do we do
what we do?
01
03
Making history accesible
History is largely inaccessible because the only place where we are exposed to it is in school textbooks. It doesn't have to be that way. With Fine Print, history his a story full of twists and turns.
reiterate the importance of history
Studying history is immensely important to understanding the world around us today: without understanding the past -- its mistakes and successes -- we risk repeating our failures and turning a blind eye to our peaks.
02
making history fun!
History doesn't have to be a recollection of dates and facts: we think of it as a huge, practically never-ending collection of drama, gossip, and unreasonable reactions to the smallest of conflicts.
Something for everyone!

Experiences
from our wonderful guests:
