Meet Your Hosts

Daniel Thompson (“Dan”) has lived in South Carolina for his entire life. Born in Columbia before moving to the upstate, he’s worked in the world of education for the better part of two decades. Before jumping into podcasting full time, Daniel was a certified upper school social studies teacher, a teacher of the year nominee, and a high school principal. He has a love of history and learning, and a toleration of his best buddy Bran.
Brandon Gray (“Bran”) has lived in South Carolina for 10 years and considers it to be home. Bran spent some time in the classroom, teaching Bible to middle school students for three years. While he now does podcasting full time, Bran loves to learn (even if history isn’t necessarily his jam). Bran has a deep love for all things Christmas, sports, and also puts up with his best buddy Dan.
