Ben Tumin

international man of history

Hi, I’m Ben, and I produce Skipped History.

On Substack, I interview leading historians about their latest research. On land, I perform. Picture my shtick like John Oliver, talking about history, making sense of our very weird, troubled, endlessly delightful, and did I mention troubled? world. My work has been profiled, featured, and published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Teen Vogue (before it went to the dark side), and more.

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 em all out.
