The Teaching American History podcast will provide subscribers with a weekly seminar from a leading history scholar from our extensive audio archive. These seminars are designed to encourage teachers to seriously examine significant events in American history in light of the principles of the American founding, and also to encourage the use of primary source materials in the classroom.

Now let us not get crazy now -— real American history in government schools, why that would undermine the socialist, liberal agenda...the founding principles of America are herecy...
Thanks for posting this. I don’t know if I’ll be teaching history, ever, but I like it a lot, and knowing more about it won’t hurt me in the least.
What I love about the net is there are things like this out there. Want to hear Harry Jaffa? Here it is.
Cool. I love podcasts
I like Jaffa-—people here have criticized me for supporting his views-—but he is NOT a historian. He is a professor of government, and would not give a historian’s view of history, but that of a “political scientist.”
