About

Hi there. My name is Jochem. I make the show The Present Past, a show where I research how the present has been influenced by the past. History but connected to the present and fun! Every episode I show how history has influenced and made a thing, an idea or event in our present time. Let me know if you have a topic you'd like to share! Even though I actually have been educated as a historian and do my research, I can and will make mistakes. So don't take the word of a youtube historian as the absolute end-all truth. You probably shouldn't do that with any (internet) person. https://www.dropbox.com/request/nMMMSpoNWUJHBIZ8hJRu
