The American History Podcast

• 5.05 The Long March

  Send us a textOver the past four episodes, we've traced how American political discourse became weaponized, how both parties learned to delegitimize elections, how political violence gets selectively remembered, and how two incompatible constitutional orders came to govern American life simultaneously. Today we're exploring how this transformation happened—not just through laws and court decisions, but through a systematic ideological takeover of American institutions.Support the show

• 5.03 Fiery But Mostly Forgotten

  Send us a textOver the past two episodes, we've traced how American political discourse became weaponized decades before Trump, and how both parties learned to delegitimize elections they don't win. Today we're examining something even more fundamental: how Americans think about political violence.The story we tell ourselves about political violence in America goes something like this: We're a peaceful democracy where political disagreements are settled through debate and voting, not riots and bloodshed. When violence does occur, it's an aberration—a breakdown of our democratic norms that shocks the conscience and brings the country together in condemnation. This is another fairy tale.Support the show

• 5.01 The Great Unraveling

  Send us a textWe interrupt season 4 to bring you a special mini series (never fear I already have several WWII episodes written and one is already recorded). This series is based on the events of September 10, 2025, and the aftermath of that day. The purpose is to look into how the US got to this point and hopefully find a way for us to get out of it. I hope you all find it informative. Support the show
