De Koude Oorlog, de Drooglegging, de Gold Rush, de Ruimtewedloop. Elk aspect van je leven – de woorden die je spreekt, de ideeën die je deelt – is terug te voeren op onze geschiedenis, maar hoe goed ken je eigenlijk de verhalen die Amerika hebben gevormd? We nemen je mee naar de gebeurtenissen, de tijden en de mensen die onze natie hebben gevormd. En we laten je zien hoe onze geschiedenis hen, hun families en jou vandaag de dag beïnvloedt. Gehost door Lindsay Graham (niet de senator). Van Wondery, het netwerk achter American Scandal, Tides of History, American Innovations en meer.
The Cold War, Prohibition, the Gold Rush, the Space Race. Every part of your life – the words you speak, the ideas you share – can be traced to our history, but how well do you really know the stories that made America? We’ll take you to the events, the times and the people that shaped our nation. And we’ll show you how our history affected them, their families and affects you today. Hosted by Lindsay Graham (not the Senator). From Wondery, the network behind American Scandal, Tides of History, American Innovations and more.

In the early 1900s, a new generation of crusading writers and journalists captured the nation’s attention by digging up dirt on big business and government and advocating for change. They became known as “muckrakers.” Ida Tarbell exposed the ruthless machinations of John D. Rockefeller, the tycoon who built Standard Oil. Lincoln Steffens exposed bribery in city governments across America. And Upton Sinclair chronicled the horrific conditions in Chicago’s meat packing plants and slaughterhouses. But in galvanizing public support for progressive reform, they also clashed with President Theodore Roosevelt, who was fighting his own battles with conservatives in Congress.
