  • Expansion of an already great series.

    Ever since I saw the episode n The Donner Party many years ago, I have been an avid follower of American Experience. It’s one of, if not *the* reason I subscribe to Public Television. The series has expanded to pod casts and irt is every bit as good. These programs should be required listening in every junior and senior high school. What a great way to teach American History, so sorely needed today!

  • Informative and hauntingly relevant

    Releasing this close to Halloween & election season was the perfect choice for the chilling tale of Joseph McCarthy. Historically scary stuff and very well told. Great show!

  • Finest Documentation Of Our History

    All episodes of this program should be part of public education required curriculum. Not only does it tells the true history of [this occasionally great] country, but it makes us all smarter. More importantly, it gives us perspective.
