Mr. Clarke After Dark
Welcome to the “Mr. Clarke After Dark” podcast with host Lucas Clarke, an educator determined to move away from recycled professional development and engage in more nuanced, personable, and relevant conversations for learning.
Each week, Mr. Clarke unpacks the inner workings of the classroom and learns out loud with educators, politicians, comedians, and other field experts of all shapes, sizes, and burnout levels. Whether they have been in the trenches of their profession for five months or fifty years, we are here to share everything from classroom hacks, our worst mistakes, and the occasional profound musing (from the guests). From conversations about race with Daryl Davis, education reform with Jennifer Gonzalez, global educational development with professors from the World Bank, to stories about students farting in class, there will always be something you can take away from the show, for better or worse.
So, come on over and join the dark side ... unless you’re scared.

#056 - Daniele Boleli | Cultivating Legitimacy in the History Classroom
Daniele Boleli is a History Professor based out of Los Angeles, California and is the host of the History on Fire Podcast. Daniele has also made several appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience and has worked closely with esteemed historical podcaster Dan Carlin. On top of that, he is also the holder of the greatest accent of all time. On this episode, Daniele and I discuss the oddities of personally connecting to history, the silliness of cultural rivalries, how he formulates his history podcast, Taoism, learning not to go down too many rabbit holes while lecturing, how to not take it personally when people are not listening to you teach, how historians become numb to horrible events, how to become a better storyteller, surprising facts about Theodore Roosevelt, being authentic in telling the stories of other cultures, and, much more. Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show!
