<![CDATA[The Story of the United States in 100 Objects]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-story-of-the-united-states-in-100-objects Married non-historians Tim and Andrea dig through 250 years of American history, one object at a time. A rushed, ink-smudged broadside. A pair of Olympic running shoes. A rock from another world. Each episode, they pick one artifact, have it out about what it actually means, and try not to talk over each other while doing it. Some episodes they agree. Some episodes they don't. Either way, you get the real story behind the object, plus a running spirited conversation between two people who love this country, love each other, and are both a little too competitive about knowing the better fact. 100 objects. 250 years. One nation of imperfect people doing extraordinary things, narrated by two imperfect people who are pretty sure they are right.

Before we get into the objects, artifacts, and arguments, Tim and Andrea sit down to introduce the show: what it is, why they're doing it, and what you can expect from the next 100 episodes.

In this episode:

  • Who Tim and Andrea are (married, competitive, self-described "non-historians")
  • The idea behind the show: telling the story of America through 250 years of objects, from a rushed printer's broadside to a rock from another world
  • How episodes will work, one object per episode, plus the running debate between two people who don't always agree on what it means
  • What's coming up first: Episode 1 will be a birth certificate. You'll have to subscribe to find out whose birth certificate it is.
