About us
Created in 2013, Footnoting History is a podcast that focuses on overlooked and underappreciated areas of the history, whether that means a topic completely unknown to most listeners or a new look at a well-known person, period, or event. Our hosts are all trained historians with a passion for sharing history's complexities with the public. They research, write, and record their own episodes on topics that excite them -- and we hope they excite you, too.
We release a new episode, usually between 20 and 30 minutes long, every other week and provide captioned versions on each episode's blog post on this website, as well as on our YouTube channel.
Below you will find brief biographies of our team and links to pages featuring their episodes. We hope you will choose to join us as we serve up history to you one episode at a time.

CHRISTINE CACCIPUOTI CO-PRODUCER and SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER | EPISODES
Christine has been in love with history since she was a small child watching Newsies on loop. She received her MA in medieval history from Fordham University largely due to the inspiration of Sharon Kay Penman's novels. Now, she particularly loves studying the families of France’s Napoleon Bonaparte and England’s King Henry II. Christine co-edited Independent Scholars Meet the World: Expanding Academia beyond the Academy (University Press of Kansas, 2020), contributed to American National Biography, and has an essay on Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" scheduled for publication. In her spare time, Christine talks far too much about The History Boys, musical theater, and Disney. You can find more about her (including her blog) at ChristineCaccipuoti.com.

Kristin UscinskiCO-PRODUCER and AUDIO EDITOR| EPISODES
Kristin used to get so excited to visit Colonial Williamsburg that she couldn’t sleep for weeks ahead of time. She is still that super cool of a person. Kristin has an MA in medieval history and a doctorate in history from Fordham University, where she also focused on medieval history because, apparently, she cannot get enough. She is the author of a database of approximately 2,000 recipes for women’s healthcare in medieval England and is a contributing editor for the Medieval Londoners Database, a digital project which records the activities of London residents between c.1100 and 1520. Currently, she is working on a Middle English edition of a medical recipe collection in the British Library and is a Lecturer of History at SUNY Purchase College.
