REBROADCAST | Ronald Reagan: The Voice in the Wilderness Part 1

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of his passing, we are rebroadcasting our series on President Ronald Reagan_________“Ronald Reagan, the actor?!” exclaimed Doc Brown in the film Back to the Future when he learned that Ronald Reagan was President of the United States in 1985. Indeed, to many, the idea of the former B-movie actor as leader of the free world was an absurd idea. Few, however, would predict that this unlikeliest of presidents would alter the course of American history. In this episode, we cover Ronald Reagan’s rise to power and how he sought to do the unthinkable: win the Cold War and destroy Soviet communism forever.JOIN PREMIUMListen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremiumFOLLOW USwww.linktr.ee/thisamericanpresidentCREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealScript Editor: Jennifer MazzellaProduction Intern: Kolyo VanchevContent Intern: Melina SpatharisArtist: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
