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.

American History Tellers is a podcast that tells the story of the United States from the perspective of the people who lived through it. Host Lindsay Graham is a self-described history buff. In this podcast, he teams up with esteemed academic historians to tackle U.S. history from new perspectives. Unlike other sources, this podcast tells history as a story. It puts listeners in the shoes of those who came before them. Graham and his guests describe what it was like to be present to witness some of the most iconic moments of history. They bring bygone eras to life and give voice to ordinary people. American History Tellers is entertaining and enriching. You've never heard history told quite like this before.
This podcast wants people to stop thinking of history as a collection of boring facts. U.S. history turns out to be a compelling collection of stories. What was it like to answer a knock at the door from the FBI during the height of the Cold War? What did Prohibition do to waiters' tips? This podcast is history as you've never heard before, as everyday people lived it.
