Listening to America
Listening to America aims to “light out for the territories,” traveling less visited byways and taking time to see this immense, extraordinary country with fresh eyes while listening to the many voices of America’s past, present, and future. Led by noted historian and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson, Listening to America travels the country’s less visited byways, from national parks and forests to historic sites to countless under-recognized rural and urban places. Through this exploration, Clay and team find and tell the overlooked historical and contemporary stories that shape America’s people and places. Visit our website at ltamerica.org.

The best!

I started listening to this show on the radio in 2007 and am still a huge fan! This is my favorite podcast. I have been introduced to so many new interests in history, politics, books, philosophy and more throughout the years. I really found history to be a boring subject until I heard this show. Clay has a way of making Jefferson and so many other historical figures real and thought provoking.
Informative discussions
Oct 27
Although I preferred the TJ hour format, I still find the discussions highly informative and have enjoyed Clay's reports from the road during his Steinbeck travels. As a life long gen x registered Independent, that firmly believes in the principles of our founding and the historical uniqueness of the American Experiment, I am dismayed by the reviews that feel the need to label the show as leftist, liberal, etc.. The ability to listen to others and discuss the issues in a thoughtful, respectful way is the foundation of a healthy republic. Keep up the good work Clay, Lindsey, Joe and all the others. Let us all remember...... " I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend" - Thomas Jefferson
Getting even more political
Sep 16
These podcasts are on one hand so good, but on the other are getting more explicitly partisan. I guess the temptation is irresistible and the apprehensions for the future too acute. Now I can tune in to be told how racist I am and which party at this time I should vote for.
Historical accuracy, interesting conversations
Jun 21
It’s very nice to listen to a podcast that is historically accurate with an interesting take on society. Anyone who says there is a bias here has probably been programmed by Fox News to think that the US history is a certain way. I dare you to find one thing that Clay or his guests say that isn’t an accurate depiction of the the history of America. In a time when people think it was “you”Join or “you” Die, they show that it’s really “we” Join, or “we” Die
