What happens when a rockstar trades the stage for the archives? Bob Crawford, bassist for the Grammy-nominated Avett Brothers and now host of American History Hotline, joins Adam Montiel for a conversation that hits harder than any history class you’ve ever taken. From tales of Founding Fathers dying on the same day to asking if the Constitution can really stop a dictator, Bob’s new podcast is flipping the script on how we connect with America’s past.
In this episode, Bob talks candidly about what studying history for 25 years has taught him, not just about the country, but about us. He shares how he finds rhythm in both music and research, why mythologizing history can be dangerous, and the moment inside the Library of Congress that made him feel more patriotic than ever before. This is a beautiful, thoughtful dive into history, identity, storytelling, and how asking better questions might be the most American thing we can do.
