Peter Waldo

History Professor Bob Packett, of Maple Woods Community College (Kansas City MO), tells the story of Peter Waldo, the French religious leader who founded the Waldenses and was excommunicated in 1184. Professor Bob loves to tell stories of the real people behind the often sterile descriptions found in history texts. His conversational style, filled with anecdotes, quips and humor, will bring to life the characters of history. Now, through the technology of podcasting, you can also enjoy what Professor Bob's students have been enjoying for years -- history that comes alive in "History According to Bob."
