Show overview
U.S. History - VOA Learning English has been publishing since 2016, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 64 episodes. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 5 min and 11 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 35 episodes published. Published by VOA Learning English.
