Finest Documentation Of Our History
All episodes of this program should be part of public education required curriculum. Not only does it tells the true history of [this occasionally great] country, but it makes us all smarter. More importantly, it gives us perspective.
Well Worth Listening To!!
This is a really good history podcast!! It’s hard to find ones that I really enjoy listening to. My only problem is that they never made more episodes. I really wish they would because I would spread the word since I know of others who are also looking for a really good history podcast to listen to!! MAKE MORE EPISODES PLEASE!!
More please!
I love American Experience. I have learned so much from the program. I see on the website that there are numerous articles, especially about presidents and American events. It would be great to convert these to audio and enable us to listen to them here. Please!
