Podcasts from the Gilder Lehrman Institute
By David Darlington
Fans of history podcasts should check out the web site of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History for a list of podcasts on American history subjects by famous historians. We’ve linked to individual podcasts before at AHA Today (see here and here). Each podcast can be streamed online or downloaded in MP3 format. At the individual podcast pages, you can continue the discussion by providing user feedback on the lectures. Some podcast samples:
- Joyce Appleby on The First Generation of Americans
- David Blight on The Civil War
- Catherine Clinton on Harriet Tubman
- Eric Foner on the Reconstruction
- Henry Lewis Gates Jr. on African American Lives
- Kenneth Jackson on the Gilded Age
- James McPherson on Antietam
- Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. on Life in the 20th Century
- Sean Wilentz on Lincoln and Jacksonian Democracy

Be sure to subscribe to the Gilder Lehrman e-mail list at the bottom of the page to find out when new podcasts are available.
