Podcast turned the history teacher into a popular educator
Daniel Hermansson is an upper secondary school teacher who has become a great educator. Whether in podcast, TV or book form, the Alum of the Year tells us about our history in a way that is as entertaining as it is well-informed.
“I want to create an interest and understanding of how history is connected to the present. In this way, history is important. But above all, it’s great fun. And that’s the most important thing, you should have fun in life!”
