Show overview
The American Idea has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 248 episodes, alongside 4 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 180 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 37 min and 48 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 36 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Ashbrook Center.
From the publisher
The American Idea explores America's Founding principles and their effect on American history and government. Through thoughtful conversations with renowned academics and public figures from across the country, we examine the history and political thought behind our country’s greatest documents and debates, as well as contemporary issues, American popular culture, and political statesmanship. The podcast is a production of the Ashbrook Center and hosted by Jeff Sikkenga.
