Tom Ashbrook and Heidi Legg team up to bring you a new podcast with voices across America in a sudden Swing State of mind. Life and death, a crashing economy, and the way we live has been upended. Our first interview with historian Heather Cox Richardson whose daily Letters From An American has over 500,000 readers each morning, helps us to understand this moment in time and offers us a deep sweeping historical context. Professor of History at Boston College, where she teaches courses on the American Civil War, the Reconstruction Era, the American West, and the Plains Indians, Richardson has authored five books that each chronicle a major movement like the one we are living.   We hope you will follow us on Twitter @PodState and on iTunes as we bring you relevant voices that will help us all grasp this new era.
