Reconstruction begins where, for most Americans, the story of the Civil War ends: The North is victorious and slavery is abolished. But what happened next was one of the most important decades in American history, a moment when our country grappled with its original sin and imagined — and briefly enacted — a more perfect union.
Drawing from archives, letters, diaries, court records, eyewitness testimonies and some of America’s most accomplished scholars and storytellers, Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise explores this unprecedented historical moment in rich, kaleidoscopic detail. The series unpacks a time when a determined band of reformers attempted to radically reimagine American society — from the Constitution to the roots of its economy to the very nature of citizenship itself.
Reconstruction was a time when Americans struggled over fundamental questions about our country. Who gets to be a citizen? Who has the right to vote? Who can own property? In short, who belongs? Reconstruction: The Unfinished Promise explores what America might have looked like if Reconstruction had truly succeeded, and how the ultimate backlash to Reconstruction prevented our country from becoming a truly multiracial democracy.
Guiding us through this extraordinary moment in American history is best-selling author and host of Revisionist History Malcolm Gladwell. He’ll have help from luminaries, historians, and storytellers such as President Barack Obama, Jelani Cobb, Wyatt Cenac, David Blight, Kai Wright, Kellie Carter Jackson, Ashley C. Ford, Manisha Sinha, Kidada Williams, and Eric Foner. This is a series about why America has yet to make good on the promise of Reconstruction, and how it still might.

At just 15 years old, Mme Campan entered the royal household as a court reader, eventually becoming the first lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette. Her memoirs provide a captivating glimpse into the trials and tribulations of this ill-fated queen. Rather than focusing solely on the chaotic historical events of her time, Mme Campan delves into the intrigues and complexities of court life, exploring the personalities and behaviors of those who inhabited its hallowed halls. As she writes I shall relate what I have seen. I shall make known the character of Marie Antoinette, her domestic habits, the way in which she spent her time, her maternal affection, her constancy in friendship, her dignity in misfortune. I shall, in some degree, throw open her private apartments, where I have passed so many hours with her, both in the happiest and the most sorrowful years of her life. (Mme Campan) - Summary by Celine Major

Malta, a speck of limestone in the central Mediterranean, has been a fortress coveted by empires for millennia. From the Phoenicians to the Romans, the Arabs to the Normans, and most famously the Knights of St. John, every power understood that controlling Malta meant controlling the sea lanes between east and west. In this series, Lucas and Luna trace the island's extraordinary history: the mysterious temple builders who erected Ġgantija and Ħaġar Qim before the pyramids; the catacombs and mosaics of Roman Melite; the Great Siege of 1565 when the Knights, led by Grand Master Jean de Valette, repelled the Ottoman war machine of Suleiman the Magnificent; the Baroque flowering of Valletta, a ‘city built by gentlemen for gentlemen’; the brutal French occupation under Napoleon and the subsequent Maltese revolt aided by Britain; the island’s role as the HMS Mediterranean ‘unsinkable aircraft carrier’ during World War II, enduring the most intense bombing campaign in history; and the post-war journey to independence, republic status, and EU membership. Along the way, we explore the Maltese language — a unique Semitic tongue infused with Sicilian and English — the enduring legacy of the Knights, and the modern debates over identity, heritage tourism, and neutrality. This is not just the story of a small island: it is a lens through which to understand the clash of civilizations, the evolution of fortification, and the resilience of a people shaped by siege and survival. Why does a place so tiny loom so large in the memory of the Mediterranean?

«Ближе, чем кажется» — медиа и подкаст об Арктике.
Наш слоган — «Через людей — к Арктике. Через Арктику — к себе». Этот проект не о путешествиях на край света и не о романтике льдов. Он о людях, которые живут и работают на Севере.
Мы исследуем Арктику не через карты и отчёты, а через личные истории, голоса и опыт. Здесь нет путеводителя, но есть компас, который движет любыми действиями. Через истории наших героев мы приближаем далекое и открываем что-то в себе.
Арктика ближе, чем кажется.

Do you remember the timeless tales of the Ant and the Grasshopper, the Fox and the Sour Grapes, or the Boy Who Cried Wolf? These enchanting stories have been cherished for centuries, all attributed to the legendary Aesop, an Ancient Greek slave born around 620 B.C. Known as a master storyteller, Aesops fables illuminate our human weaknesses and strengths, collectively known as Aesops Fables. Although none of his original writings have survived, countless tales linked to him have been preserved through the ages, celebrated in various languages within a rich storytelling tradition that continues today. Many of these fables feature animals and inanimate objects with human traits, engaging in problem-solving and moral lessons. References to Aesops life can be found in the works of ancient scholars such as Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. The Aesop Romance, an ancient literary piece, presents a dramatized version of his life, portraying him as an unattractive slave who, through his wit, gains freedom and becomes a trusted adviser to rulers. While later traditions depict Aesop as a black Ethiopian, the essence of his fables remains a reflection of human behavior that resonates even after 2500 years.

Gridiron Baltic is a monthly podcast exploring connections between American football in the Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. On the surface, America’s Game may seem to have little in common with three small-nation states in Eastern Europe. Basketball and ice hockey, however, are not the only North American sports intertwined with the histories of Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian nations. Among other things, nineteenth century immigration and the shifting political borders of the twentieth century created a multitude of connections and entanglements, both in the West and in the East. From immigrant players in the regional leagues of the United States to the first (un)official games on Soviet and post-Soviet fields, Gridiron Baltic traces how a distinctly American sport intersects with the complex and interconnected histories of the three modern Baltic nations.
