See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Albert Bierstadt’s story runs counter to the romanticized idea of a passionate starving artist. He was strategic in his career, selecting imagery that he knew would appeal to U.S. audiences, and monetizing his art outside of selling paintings.

  • Liberal History Class

    I’ve listened to this podcast since its inception. I’ve enjoyed the various hosts and always appreciate varying perspectives. However, the hosts have become insufferable, self-righteous preachers of their preferred view of history. I feel unwanted and unwelcome as a listener and am sad to be hitting unfollow after many years enjoying niche history stories.

    History does not—and cannot—exist in a vacuum. Stripping it of emotional context, relevance, or present-day implications turns it into lifeless trivia. When recent public figures like the HHS Secretary promote falsehoods about disease, or the firing... more

  • Too political

    I enjoyed this podcast for a long time. Can’t take it anymore… everything seems to be politics. We get you are mad… but when you drag it into the podcast it is not pleasant to listen to anymore.
