A DOZEN RONALD REAGANS: AN OBJECTIVE LOOK AT RONALD REAGAN'S...
Say the name Ronald Reagan and you will get cheers, boos, complaints or love. You will rarely get silence. In this podcast we look at why Reagan set the tone for politics today, what happened during his Presidency, his highs and lows, and how his image today may differ from how things were in his time. In 12 episodes, each with a different angle, Bruce Carlson, creator of the My History Can Beat Up Your Politics Podcast, looks at Reagan's presidency.
THE CORNERSTONE
The Cornerstone is a podcast connecting Jewish historical sites in Western Pennsylvania to historic materials in the Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives. Each episode investigates one spot in the region. It might be a synagogue, a schoolhouse, a work of public art, a gravestone, or something as subtle as a painted-over mezuzah. The story of each spot is told through documents, photographs and oral histories, all of which can be studied in greater depth with interactive StoryMaps. The Cornerstone is made possible through a grant from the SteelTree Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.
