Scene on Radio: Capitalism
Scene on Radio is a two-time Peabody-nominated podcast that dares to ask big, hard questions about who we are—really—and how we got this way. Previous series include Seeing White (Season 2), looking at the roots and meaning of white supremacy; MEN (Season 3), on patriarchy and its history; The Land That Never Has Been Yet (Season 4), exploring democracy in the U.S. and why we don’t have more of it; The Repair (Season 5), on the cultural roots of the climate crisis; and Season 6, Echoes of a Coup, the story of the only successful coup d'etat in U.S. history, in Wilmington, North Carolina, in 1898. Produced and hosted by John Biewen and created at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, Scene on Radio comes from the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University. Season 7, Scene on Radio: Capitalism, is produced in partnership with Imperative 21. The show is distributed by PRX.

I’m so grateful to John and Ellen for this season on capitalism! Great, thought-provoking history in an engaging audio storytelling package. I’m learning so much and got my 13-year-old hooked, too.

So powerful that the culminating topic from the previous 6 seasons focuses on capitalism. And says so much about what we prioritized in the formation of our country. Thanks so much.
Every season is as good as the last
