概要
 Sometimes the news moves so fast, you have to look closely to know if you’ve seen it before. And that’s what this show is about. Breaking History breaks down the news, by breaking down history. We cover everything from LBJ and the Roman Republic to Donald Trump and the chaos at Columbia. This twice a month show from The Free Press delivers the best historians, authors, and reporters by mining the archives of human experience to figure out the present. George Santayana wrote, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Tune in to Breaking History to resist the repetition. 世界

  • Why the Future of Education Won’t Come from the Ivy League

    Why the Future of Education Won’t Come from the Ivy League
    2026/08/06
    Peter Berkowitz returns to the show to trace the slow collapse of liberal education in America, all in his new book, Reclaiming Liberal Education in America. In this episode, he and Eli Lake walk through 50 years of ideological capture, from the campus radicals of the 1960s who became the tenured professors of the 1980s, to the speech codes of the 1990s, to October 7, 2023, as the moment it all came into full view. Along the way, they dig into the French postmodernists who gutted academic standards, the DEI bureaucracies that replaced intellectual diversity with conformity, and the peer review process that failed so spectacularly. They end on the essential question: Can the university still reform itself, or is it time to build something new? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Slow Death of Journalism, with Matt Taibbi

    The Slow Death of Journalism, with Matt Taibbi
    2026/07/23
    Matt Taibbi has spent the better part of a decade documenting one of the most underreported stories in American media: how the federal government built a shadow infrastructure to shape what people could say and read online. In this episode, Eli Lake sits down with Taibbi to trace the full journey. It starts with the post-2016 Senate hearings that spooked Silicon Valley into compliance, and it ends with the chaotic information environment we live in today. They also dig into the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Covid misinformation crackdown, and whether the formal censorship bureaucracy is really gone or just harder to see.

  • How the Democratic Socialists Conquered New York City

    How the Democratic Socialists Conquered New York City
    2026/06/30
    Back in October, we traced the founding of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in our episode “Beautiful Losers: Mamdani & the End of Socialism’s Losing Streak.” Now, with Zohran Mamdani’s allies sweeping three congressional primaries in New York, we’re back for a follow-up. In this episode, journalist Harry Siegel outlines how the DSA spent the better part of a decade building the machine that just reshuffled New York City politics—from post-Trump organizing drives and close-but-no-cigar primary runs to a movement that now has the Democratic Party establishment looking over its shoulder. How did it happen and what comes next? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
