BackStory Radio is a one-hour, highly produced radio series that includes expert interviews, listener calls, wide-ranging discussion and occasional special features. In each episode, renowned historians Peter Onuf, Ed Ayers, and Brian Balogh — BackStory’s genial, sometimes gregarious, and always thought-provoking hosts — take a topic from the headlines and use it to drill down into America’s past. They invite callers and fellow historians to the table, offering anecdotes, analysis, and a healthy dose of good humor, providing multiple perspectives on a wide variety of engaging issues, showing how the stories of America contribute to a narrative of democracy in which all of us have a stake.
BackStory Radio is a program of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. Tune in to learn about these topics, and go on line to join the conversation!
