Historians Lynn Prince Robbins and Jim Ambuske explore the histories of the revolutions that remade the Atlantic world, from the civil wars of seventeenth-century Britain, the Jacobite Uprisings, and American Independence, to Revolutionary Haiti, the French Revolution, the Enlightenment, and everything in between.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt's complete fireside chats. FDR gave these occasional talks throughout his presidency, from 1933 to 1944, regarding the Great Depression, World War II, and a handful of other topics. It's not always easy to find these in their complete form, and a few were never recorded at all. However, the text exists, so I've gone ahead and recorded the missing parts myself. So here they are in their entirety. Hope you enjoy!

All of the Presidents' Weekly Addresses. From FDR's fireside chats to Reagan's "weekly radio address," to Biden's "weekly conversations." Enjoy this daily bite-sized piece of American history, from 1933 to today. A variety of different names, but all part of the same tradition of personal weekly messages from our Presidents to their citizens. Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Obama gave these almost every week, while Roosevelt, Bush Sr., Trump, and Biden were more sporadic, but they are all here. (Presidents from FDR to Reagan didn't give these addresses.) Enjoy, and have fun learning!
