America: A History Podcast - US politics often (and understandably) dominates the news agenda, but if you were not taught about the country’s history in school you can find some of the political institutions and traditions rather confusing. This handy new podcast by Liam Heffernan breaks down US politics and history into easy to follow digestible chunks, from the purpose and beliefs of the US constitution to the role of the Supreme Court. The first episode came out on July 4th (see what they did there?) and new episodes are out every week.
