American History Stories

The America we know today was shaped by moments of choice, chance, courage, and consequence. American History Stories is a narrative history podcast about the people, events, and turning points that made the United States what it is. From revolution and ideology to inventions, conflict, and cultural change, each episode unpacks a single story and asks: why did this moment matter, and why does it still matter now? The show is hosted by Nick Rogers, creator of Up Ship! The Airship History Podcast, and Liam Rogers, producer and curious non-historian. British by birth but unapologetically obsessed with the United States, they bring admiration, curiosity, and an outsider’s perspective to America’s past. Expert historians and writers join the conversation for relaxed discussions that explore American history as it was lived and experienced.Together, they challenge the idea that America “doesn’t have history”. It really does… New episodes every two weeks.
