Introducing: American History Tellers

Nearly two hundred years after his death, Aaron Burr’s legacy remains hotly debated by historians. After all, he was a hero of the Revolutionary War, served as a United States senator and even vice president. But Burr had his fair share of controversy, killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel, and conspiring to take America’s western front as his own – to rule over like an emperor. On American History Tellers, you’ll learn more about Burr’s desperate power grab, how it was thwarted by President Thomas Jefferson, and how our fledgling democracy endured its first stress test. This is just a preview of American History Tellers.

Will Be Wild is a new 8-part series about the forces that led to the January 6th insurrection and what comes next. Through in-depth stories from a wide range of characters – from people who tried to stop the attack to those who took part – hosts Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz explore the ongoing effort to bring autocracy to America, the lasting damage that effort is doing to our democracy, and the fate of our attempts to combat those anti-democratic forces. Because January 6th wasn't the end of the story, January 6th was just a practice run.All episodes are available now.
