  • Episode 36: Dust Control
    Oct 30 2021

    In the 1930’s, the U.S. was taking conservation seriously.  We put together a massive regional authority to handle conservation and energy issues in the Tennessee Valley, but we also attacked the growing issue called the Dust Bowl with two major Acts:  The Taylor Grazing Act and the Soil Conservation Act.

  • Episode 35: A Rose by Any Other Name
    Oct 19 2021

    FDR and National Planning seem to go hand-in-hand.  Because they do.  Literally.  Planning on a national level spanned almost the exact same time frame as FDR’s Presidency, and FDR just wouldn’t like it go away; bringing it back under name after name after name.  Both Started in 1933, and National Planning died in 1943, two years before FDR.  This one’s all about the blip on the planning radar called, National Planning.

great recap

I found season 1 about three weeks before my exam and I got through them all just in time :) The content was a great refresher for the bigger themes i had already studied and it helped explain some Hows and Whys of details too, like housing laws. The author is knowledgeable and his delivery is friendly-casual.
I'll be back for season 2!
