Marshall Shore, the man known as âthe Hip Historian,â has a thirst for acquiring new knowledge and sharing it with others. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he had to find new ways to do this, including hosting virtual happy hour.Â
The Arizona History Happy Hours are accessible through the Marshall Shore, Hip Historian Facebook page and on Twitch at 7 p.m. Thursdays.Â
Past shows are also available for view on Facebook and YouTube. Â
Shore has partnered with AARP Arizona, which is helping to promote his virtual show statewide. The historian offers the show for free but is accepting donations. Like many others, he hasnât been able to work due to venue closures and event cancelations during the pandemic. Â
