The United States of Amnesia

Welcome to The United States of Amnesia, a podcast exploring the lessons we’ve forgotten, misunderstood, or never learned. Over time, history, politics, and religion have been distorted by bias, oversimplification, and myth. This podcast aims to cut through the fog, reconnecting past and present to help us think more clearly about the world we’re in, and the one we're heading toward. Join us as we delve into the great struggle of humanity: to reconcile who we were with who we are becoming.

We post new episodes every other Wednesday. Please explore our website for more information about us, to listen to our episodes, catch up on our blog (we post pictures and sources relevant to different episodes as well as news about upcoming episodes), leave a review, and more!
