Your 15-Minute History Podcast Team
In 2018, Jon Streeter gave Joe Parker a 10-page summary on World War II to review. The summary was so good that the two had a conversation about how to summarize historical events, people, and places to spark interest in those who listen. This was the beginning of the 15-Minute History Podcast. Since then, we have recorded 100+ episodes and discussions and earned thousands of subscribers who join us each week as we walk in history’s footsteps, 15 minutes at a time.
Jon Streeter | Co-host
Jon Streeter is a graduate of Hillsdale College and received his MA in History from Indiana University. He also studied at Oxford University in Great Britain, and is a professional military historian and teacher. As co-host of 15-Minute History, he provides authoritative expertise into the historical events discussed and has the uncanny knack for making the lessons of history applicable to everyday life.
This picture was taken at the Canadian National Memorial at Vimy Ridge in Arras, France. Legend has it that if Jon sees his shadow we won't have another world war for six more years.
Joe Parker | Co-host
Joe Parker is a graduate of Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. He is a writer and amateur historian. As the other co-host, he provides an outsider’s view into historical events with a focus on the “human factor” and the different stories of the people who have changed history for better or worse.
This picture was taken in the wheat fields at the Longues-sur-mer battery in Normandy, France. It was 60% staged and added here because it looks like a scene from Gladiator and is quasi-artsy.
Kevin Dick | Sound Engineer
Kevin Dick is an experienced commercial real estate professional, musician and songwriter. As the sound engineer for 15-Minute History, Kevin takes every raw episode and painstakingly makes it viable for public consumption.
This picture was taken with the Face App and is therefore not 100% real. Fun Fact: Kevin was the first to tell us our recording quality in season one was terrible. Thankfully, he provided a solution.
