250 American Firsts
From the country's first lunch counter to the first Olympic games on U.S. soil, hosts Margaret Talev and Ghael Fobes explore America's 250th anniversary through a series of unexpected firsts that shaped the country in ways nobody saw coming. Some are famous. Some should be. All of them tell us something about who we were — and who we're becoming. This podcast was produced by Syracuse University's Institute for Democracy, Journalism, and Citizenship in Washington, D.C. with the generous support of the Hearst Foundations. Album art was created by Abbey Locker and edited by Ingrid Cleveland.
