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. 

Benghazi unpacks the 2012 attack in Libya that left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens—and the ensuing political storm, which raised questions about America’s role in the world, established a playbook to weaponize attention in the social media age, and ultimately changed the course of U.S. history.

Iran-Contra exposes a secret war, a secret deal, and a scandal that threatened to destroy Ronald Reagan’s presidency—until it didn’t. 

Bush v. Gore recounts what happened during the contested 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush, and the extraordinary legal battle that unfolded in Florida.

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.
