American Experience Presents
American Experience Presents brings the storytelling power of TV’s most-watched history series to your ears, exploring how individual stories illuminate pivotal moments in American history.
Season 1 features three transformative 20th century figures: Joseph McCarthy, whose anti-communist crusade terrorized 1950s America; media mogul William Randolph Hearst, who shaped public opinion for decades; and Sgt. Isaac Woodard, the WWII veteran whose brutal assault sparked a civil rights awakening.
Season 2 shifts to the veteran experience with American Veteran: Unforgettable Stories. This 8-part series features direct testimony from veterans across generations from a Coast Guard gunner’s mate at Omaha Beach to an Army cook who became the first Black American woman POW in Iraq. Each episode centers on one veteran’s story, creating an intimate portrait of military service and sacrifice.
