American History Remix tells the untold version of American history. This podcast chooses historical events and explores forgotten aspects of them. Each episode picks a part of US history that many listeners will think they already know. The show then reveals why the truth differs from what listeners learned in school.

The podcast works through American history in chronological order. It begins with the founding of the modern USA when European colonizers started settling. The show explores the history of America before Jamestown, Virginia. It then discusses Native American history and its relationship to the land. There are episodes about Puritanism, the Atlantic trade route, and slavery. The show also examines the Civil War and its effects on American society.

American History Remix aims to show that history is complex. Many competing events occur. Not all become part of the dominant narrative of history. This show is a fascinating insight into underexplored parts of American history. While many think of Europe's influence on America, this podcast is more detailed. It shares Native American, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences on American culture. The show also explores the lives of ordinary people in American history. Listeners learn about early urbanization in New York. They also learn about changing gender roles in the Antebellum era. They hear about how history affected America's most intimate relationships and how it changed families.
