U.S. History: 20 Minutes at a Time

Welcome to U.S. History: 20 Minutes at a Time. This podcast has been designed for anyone who wants a deeper, more structured understanding of American history, whether you’re preparing for the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam, enrolled in a college survey course, or just brushing up on the events and ideas that shaped the nation. Each episode runs around twenty minutes, give or take a few, and is designed to hit that sweet spot between depth and accessibility. Over the course of one hundred episodes, we’ll move from Native North America before 1492 all the way to globalization in the twenty-first century. You’ll hear about politics and wars, but also about the social changes, cultural movements, and economic shifts that made the United States what it is today. Whether you’re studying for an exam, reviewing for class, or just curious about the country’s story, this series is meant to be a valuable companion. It gives you the big picture, episode by episode, in a way that’s both manageable and enjoyable.
