Join us for a journey through Arizona’s layered past to present. Historian Marshall Shore begins with Indigenous knowledge systems that shaped the land long before statehood, then traces early Arizona settlement, military presence, and the forces that transformed the desert. Along the way, we spotlight visionary leaders and innovators who reimagined what life in the Southwest could be. The program concludes with Arizona’s outsized influence on arts, architecture, film, and popular culture, revealing how this place continues to shape imaginations.
Marshall Shore is Arizona's Hip Historian who specializes in finding and sharing the most interesting bits and curiosities from our past: the semi-forgotten people, places, and events that have made us who we are today.
