This week at ITPL, the history podcast, I speak with America's most acclaimed documentary filmmaker, Ken Burns, about his new project, The Vietnam War. Vietnam is one of the most divisive events in American history and, not surprisingly, this documentary has attracted a lot of attention.  This episode begins with a short set-up piece, kind of a Vietnam 101, and then moves on to the main event, my interview with Ken Burns. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did. #VietnamWarPBS #KenBurns

039 Ken Burns and Coming to Terms with The Vietnam War

In each episode of In The Past Lane, the history podcast, we take up topics in American history and explore them through feature pieces, interviews, book and film reviews, and more. Our guiding philosophy is that history is not just about the past - it's about our world, here and now. History explains why things are the way they are, everything from our economy, religious practices, and foreign policy, to political ideology, family structure, and rates of poverty. Our aim is to be both informative and educational, as well as entertaining and funny. We hope you'll join us for memorable journeys In The Past Lane.
