Blending US history, American politics, and current affairs, America: The Story of the USA is your best deep‑dive into the forces that shaped the United States, and the forces shaping it now.

We unpack the big moments, bold ideas, and cultural shifts that define the nation. Whether you’re in the US, the UK, or anywhere with an interest in US news, this podcast brings clarity and context to the American experience.

Each episode explores the threads connecting founding‑era history, constitutional debates, presidential politics, civil rights, foreign policy, and the modern headlines dominating today’s US political landscape. From the origins of American democracy to the latest developments in Washington, we break down how the past informs the present — and why it matters.
