America: A History

Welcome to America: A History, the podcast exploring the people, places and events that make the USA what it is today.

Every episode answers a different question about the United States, with the help of an expert from the University of East Anglia and special guests, which have included the likes of broadcasters Jon Sopel (The News Agents / The News Agents USA) and Gary Younge, as well as prominent academics including Catherine Clinton and Althea Legal-Miller.
Plus, you can also catch our spin-off strand, America: A History in the Making, where we try and make sense of the latest news and breaking stories, including the most chaotic US election in living memory, as incumbent VP Kamala Harris and Tim Walz take on former President Donald Trump and JD Vance.

And you can now SUPPORT US ON PATREON and help us make American history podcasts great again - plus you get tons of great perks and be part of a growing community!

Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Captivate is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Nielsen or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of America: A History later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to America: A History also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Captivate may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. America: A History may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
