History by Fire
Summary: We're going to make history cool again with edge, personality, passion conviction and no holds barred facts. We want people to know that they can't go forward without looking at the past, and that they can't fix the issues of today without thoroughly examining the past. So, for those of you who hated your history teacher in school, or could "never grasp" history, this show is for you!
