Inspired by one of the most beautiful and historic sites in Spain.

During the early years of the United States, the country faced significant challenges involving foreign powers. One of the most concerning was the impressment of American citizens into British naval service. Thomas Jefferson believed it could lead to war.

Monticello guide Kyle Chattleton discusses one of the most memorable objects at Monticello today — the fossilized remains of an American mastodon. During his retirement years, Thomas Jefferson converted the entrance hall of his home into a private museum, and shared items such as these with his visitors in the hope of sharing knowledge and instilling national pride.

Monticello guide Don McCracken takes us outdoors to the historic gardens of Thomas Jefferson’s home. While the gardens were designed and built for food and pleasure, they also represented ideas replanted from Europe as well as opportunities for education, and made only possible by enslaved labor.

"This place we have named Fort Mandan in honour of our Neighbours," wrote Meriwether Lewis. In this podcast episode, we focus on an important chapter during the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition, and their interactions with the nearby Mandan and Hidatsa communities.

Let’s face it. There are times you can’t stand your neighbor’s guts. The problem is, contempt and disgust for people who think differently from you is the death knell of democracy, says writer Anand Giridharadas. Over the last few years, he set out in search of the lost art of persuasion, and found it: among activists, cult-deprogrammers, political organizers and deep canvassers. Giridharadas shar...

From an animated cold season classic.

For decades, Virginia was one of only three states in the country that banned public sector collective bargaining. That meant teachers, healthcare workers, and first responders couldn’t have a say in how their contracts were written, leading to lower pay and poorer working conditions compared to unionized workers. But things have changed. In 2020, the General Assembly repealed that prohibition, a...
