Ben Tumin

international man of history

Hello! I’m a historical satirist, and I produce Skipped History.

On Substack, I interview leading historians about their latest research. We examine conveniently overlooked ideas, events, and people that shape the U.S. today. My interviews are periodically republished in Teen Vogue.

On land, I perform. Picture my shtick like John Oliver, just quirkier and focused on history. I post updates about upcoming shows on Substack, too.

If you’re a publisher looking to share new books, please email me at skippedhistory at substack dot com. Given the volume I receive, I can’t respond to every inquiry, but I check them all out.

For performances, outside interviews, and freelance work, likewise, email me to talk!
