Les mer History You Can Use

Many of the issues facing the world today have long historical roots and everyone from co-workers to politicians seem to have their own version of that history. In the History You Can Use podcast, we cut through all of the boring dates, names, and dry descriptions of the past to give you an accurate and useable understanding of the history behind today’s pressing issues.

Episode 3: The Battle to Define America’s Past

Why do people have such conflicting views of American history? What is revisionist history, and why does it have such a bad reputation? And what do we make of this current idea of “patriotic history?” This episode explores why American history is so hotly debated, contrasting descriptive history (facts of who, what, when, where, and how) with interpretive history (the why), and traces how perspectives—from the Southern Lost Cause to voices of marginalized communities—have shaped the nation's story. With help from John Wayne, Thomas Jefferson,  the Enola Gay, and one of the best historical analogies you'll ever hear, this episode examines revisionism, patriotic history, and the ongoing struggle to balance pride, truth, and lessons from the past.

Episode 2: The United States' Ambivalent Relationship with Foreign Alliances

Has the United States always been so committed to foreign alliances, such as NATO? If not, then when and why did that change and can the U.S. really be neutral on the world stage? This episode traces the United States' journey from neutrality and strategic economic partnerships to full-scale post–World War II alliances like NATO. Along the way, we confront several key moments you probably remember hearing about at some point, such as the Battle of Yorktown, the Monroe Doctrine, and the Truman Doctrine. In tracing America's move from isolationist neutrality to the most allied nation in the world, we weigh the costs and benefits of U.S. engagement in alliances today and ask... should the U.S. return to its isolationist roots or is the risk too great?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
