About the Program:

Past is Prologue

On this weekly program, historian, professor, and author, Dr. John C. Pinheiro, interviews scholars and the men and women who made history about how we are shaped by what has gone before. Rooted in Edmund Burke's conception of the world as a "community of souls" connecting past, present, and future generations, "Past is Prologue" offers serious reflection on the past. The conversations on "Past is Prologue" aim to educate, to edify, and to serve as a warning against unwarranted nostalgia, myopic presentism, and rootless progressivism.
