Footnoting History
Since 2013, Christine has been a host and administrator for Footnoting History, a bi-weekly audio podcast where a rotating group of hosts share their love of history with a general audience. Each host possesses a graduate level degree in history, chooses their own topics, and completes their own research. This means Christine gets to regularly talk about the crazy lives of her favorite people: the Bonapartes.
In addition to serving as the Co-Producer, Christine spends a lot of time working on the podcast's social media presence and spearheads the Revolutionary France Series. Other topics she has covered span from King Henry II of England's sparring children to Jumbo, the famous Victorian elephant.
