In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters

This week at In The Past Lane, we talk to historian Nicole Hemmer about her new book, Messengers of the Right: Conservative Media and the Transformation of American Politics (Penn Press, 2016). Hemmer, who also co-hosts the terrific history podcast, Past Present, provides a fascinating look into the 30 years of American political history before the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. We learn that long, long before the rise of Rush Limbaugh (1988) and FoxNews (1996), conservative "media activists" were hard at work establishing magazines, radio and TV programs, and other forms of media and institutions to promote the modern conservative movement. Given this crazy election season, with the many questions it's raised about the state of the Republican Party, the conservative movement, and key conservative media outlets like Fox News, this is a remarkably well-timed book. Join Nicole Hemmer and me for a lively and informative conversation. For show credits, links, and further reading, see this episode's show page.

This week at In The Past Lane, we take a new look at a familiar event - the American Revolution. Think you know this key chapter in American history? Think again. For as our special guest, historian Alan Taylor, argues in his new book, American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750-1804, the American Revolution was also a civil war. And it had an impact far beyond the 13 colonies along the Atlantic coast. We also talk to Jim Moran, Director of Outreach at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA, about a little-known but important chapter in the story of American independence.

This week, as the Democratic National Convention prepares to make history by nominating a woman for the presidency, In The Past Lane takes a close look at women who have sought the nation's highest office. Here's the lineup: 1) First, I bring you a short segment on a curious voting controversy that few people have ever heard of. 2) Next, I speak with historian Ellen Fitzpatrick about her terrific new book, The Highest Glass Ceiling: Women's Quest for the American Presidency. 3) Finally, I speak with William Hazelgrove, author of a forthcoming book, Madam President: The Secret Presidency of Edith Wilson. Wait, does that mean the United States already had a woman president? Listen and learn! Show page with credits etc

This week, in honor of the G.O.P. Convention, In The Past Lane explores the fascinating history of the Republican Party. I speak with historian Heather Cox Richardson, author of a superb history of the Republican party. She'll take us on a fascinating journey through eras when the GOP was the party of big business and Wall Street and when it periodically shifted to become the party of the people and the common good. And she'll bring her analysis all the way to the present to help put Donald Trump in historical perspective.

It's the Independence Day weekend edition of In The Past Lane! Happy July 4th to all! This week, we take a close look at the document at the heart of the July 4th celebration -- the Declaration of Independence. There's a lot more to this patriotic piece of parchment than you might think. So here's the lineup: We'll start with a look at three key things about the Declaration and how it came to be -- including the fact that America's actual Independence Day is July 2, not July 4. Next, we examine the fascinating story of how American's understanding of the Declaration changed after 1800 and as a consequence, how it has inspired countless rights movements in the US (women's rights, labor rights, civil rights, etc) and around the world for more than 200 years.

This week, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Flag Day, we take a look at several intriguing flag-related stories. Here's the lineup: 1. Why Do We Pledge Allegiance? Here's the little-known story behind this revered American ritual and the fears that inspired it. Did you know the Pledge was written by a socialist? Or that it's wording has been changed twice? Or that the original salute was dropped during World War II because it too closely resembled the fascist salute of Nazi Germany? 2. Next, I interview Kimberly Staub, the Manager of Collections and Exhibitions at the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. She'll tell us how Betsy Ross was "discovered" as the woman who made the first American flag in the 1890s – more than a century after the flag was created. And she'll tell us how the museum has changed it's focus over the past decade to tell a larger story of colonial women in the late-18th century. 3. Finally, I drop some fun and interesting flag-related facts on you. Do the flag's colors red, white, and blue officially symbolize anything like courage or sacrifice? Listen and learn, people.

Who doesn't love a good scandal - so long as it doesn't involve them? This week at In The Past Lane we examine the important -- and often positive -- role scandals have played in American history. Here's the lineup: 1) a short segment on the role of scandals in US history 2) an interview with historian Daniel Czitrom about his new book, New York Exposed: The Gilded Age Police Scandal That Launched the Progressive Era (Oxford U Press, 2016).

This week at the In The Past Lane history podcast, we take up some timely questions: Who was Harriet Tubman and why did the U.S. Treasury Dept. choose her as the first woman to appear on the $20 bill? And why has President Andrew Jackson been demoted to the backside of the bill? Along the way, we'll speak with the historian who literally wrote the book on Harriet Tubman, historian Catherine Clinton. We'll also check in with historian Stephanie Yuhl in our History Skinny segment where we discuss history that's made headlines. So put the top down and join us for another informative and fun journey In The Past Lane.

This week at In The Past Lane, in honor (if that's the right word) of Tax Day, we take a close look at the history of the fraught relationship between Americans and their taxes. This episode features three segments: 1) an interview with historian William Hogeland about his terrific book on one of the biggest tax revolts in US history, the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794. 2) the story of a one-man, one-day tax revolt by Henry David Thoreau that -- eventually -- exerted a tremendous influence on social justice struggles around the world, including women's suffrage and civil rights for African Americans in the US. 3) a fun grab bag of things related to the history of taxes in US history, including - wait for it - a reason to be thankful for taxes ... seriously ...

This week In The Past Lane looks into the little known and yet hugely significant development of the ice and refrigeration industries in US history. 1) first we tell the story of Frederick Tudor, the "Ice King," who single-handedly invented the ice industry way back in 1806. This development radically redefined the American life, especially the American diet. 2) Then we check in with historian Jonathan Rees, the nation's leading authority on all things related refrigeration, to learn how mechanical refrigeration and machine-made ice accelerated this transformation of everyday life. 3) Finally, we take just a few minutes to visit a unique bar in New York City. It's called Minus 5 and with the exception of the floor and ceiling, it's made entirely of ice and kept at a temperature of Minus 5 centigrade (minus 19 F). Yeah, I know ...

With St. Patrick's Day (March 17) being celebrated this week, In The Past Lane takes a look at some fascinating Irish American history. 1) We start with a feature piece on why Americans in the late 19th century associated Irish immigrants with terrorism. That's right, long before 9/11, the Irish inspired fear among Americans as a dangerous immigrant group that committed acts of terrorism. 2) Next, we present a feature on Hercules Mulligan, the Irish immigrant who served as a trusted spy against the British during the American revolution. You might recognize his name if you've seen "Hamilton, The Musical," or listened to the soundtrack. 3) Then we turn to The History Skinny, the segment where we talk about news stories that relate to history. This week we chat it up with In The Past Lane's Senior Historical Correspondent, Stephanie Yuhl. 4)and finally, it's on to a short piece on the dozens of American slang terms (47 to be precise) that start with the word "Irish."

This week at In The Past Lane, the American history podcast, we take a look at the history behind something that's dominating the news these days: political primaries. Their origin dates not to 1787 and the Constitutional Convention, but rather to ca. 1900 and the efforts of Progressives to reduce political corruption and increase the voice of the people in elections. Here's the lineup: 1) The origin and history of the political primary 2) History Skinny segment where we discuss how history has made headlines in recent days, everything from Donald Trump relating a story about an incident from the Spanish American War that never happened, to Mississippi declaring April Confederate Heritage Month. 3) Mercy Street Rewind - ITPL's Senior Correspondent, historian Megan Kate Nelson, provides her insightful assessment of Episode 6 of "Mercy Street." Note - to avoid spoilers, Mercy Street Rewind appears as a separate segment in this podcast feed.

This week at In The Past Lane, the podcast about history and why it matters, we take a close look at Robert F. Kennedy. Here's the lineup: 1) First up, it's a short feature on the basics of the life of RFK. 2) Next, I speak with author Larry Tye about his new book, Bobby Kennedy: The Making of A Liberal Icon (2016, Random House). Tye is the author of many best-selling biographies and he's at his best in this new look at RFK. One of the myths he's eager to dispel is the notion that there were two, polar opposite Bobby Kennedys - the bad boy in the 1950s who worked for Sen. Joseph McCarthy and later waged war on organized labor and the saintly good guy in the mid-1960s who fought for social justice. 3. And we bring you two remarkable audio clips from the 1960s. First, an excerpt from RFK's 1968 speech, "The Mindless Menace of Violence" and second, Ted Kennedy's eulogy for RFK two months later. Show page with notes and credits http://inthepastlane.com/005/

This week at In The Past Lane, the American history podcast, we focus on the movement to abolish slavery. We start with a thinkpiece titled, "The Daunting Challenge the Abolitionists Faced in Taking on Slavery." Abolitionism is one of the most remarkable movements in United States history. And yet, few Americans can name more than one or two abolitionists – maybe William Lloyd Garrison, or Frederick Douglass, or Sojourner Truth. Why is that? And why is it also true that few people remember any key events of the abolitionist movement? Why do we remember only one bare fact: that the abolitionists ultimately won their struggle?The main reason, is that to people living in the 21st-century, slavery is so self-evidently wrong and evil, they can't imagine the abolitionist movement failing. But this sense that abolitionists were destined to succeed because they were right is not only false – slavery might have lasted many more decades – but it also serves to undermine and diminish the extraordinary efforts of the men and women who fought against incredible odds to end slavery. What do I mean by incredible odds? Well, you'll have to listen to this segment and to my interview with Historian Manisha Sinha about her new book, "The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition." It's a masterful, far-reaching new interpretation of the movement to abolish slavery. Finally, we end this episode with a History Heads Up with historian Stephanie Yuhl (history-related events to keep an eye out for) and some fun with the upcoming President's Day holiday.

This week's episode focuses on American prohibitions. That's right, Prohibitions in the plural. Even though Americans think of themselves as a people who have always prized individual liberty, history shows that there are MANY examples where one group of Americans tried to stop another group of Americans from engaging in a particular behavior. So here's the lineup: 1. First, a feature on a little-known prohibition crusade from the early 20th century that tried to ban cigarettes. 2. Then I interview historian Lisa McGirr about her new book, The War on Alcohol: Prohibition and the Rise of the American State.

In this episode of In The Past Lane, the American history podcast, we look at a little-known aspect of American immigration history - the story behind the Statue of Liberty and how it came to symbolize America's tradition of welcoming immigrants.
