Host Leon Neyfakh transports listeners into the day-to-day reality of our country's most pivotal historical events, bringing to life the forgotten twists and turns of the past while shedding light on the present.
Here's a preview of another podcast, American Prestige. American Prestige (americanprestigepod.com) is a podcast that offers listeners a critical perspective on U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. Most media organizations share the assumption that global peace and prosperity depend on the United States dominating the world. American Prestige rejects that assumption and explores what U.S. foreign policy might look if we in the United States adopted a different, less imperial, approach to global politics.
Past guests include public intellectual Adam Tooze, actor Morgan Spector, Pulitzer Prize winner Ada Ferrer, and historian Rashid Khalidi. They also just released a new miniseries for subscribers, Chinese Prestige (chineseprestigepod.com), covering a history of the People's Republic.

According to the science, it really is better to give than receive. Donating a dollar; sharing a kind word or lending someone a hand changes lives, but can also hugely boost your happiness. So we're teaming up with other podcasts from Hidden Brain to Revisionist History to ask you to give to a charity helping some of the poorest people around. We're calling it #PodsFightPoverty.
Go to givedirectly.org/happinesslab right now and give whatever you can. And the first $500,000 we donate will be matched thanks to our friends at Giving Multiplier!
Even a small donation will make you feel good and have a much larger impact on the world than you thought possible. To help inspire you, this special episode examines the science of giving and shares stories of heartwarming and impactful acts of kindness.
