From Boomers to Millennials: A Modern US History Podcast

Logan Rogers is building something ambitious: a complete narrative history of the United States from 1945 to the present, one era at a time. He started with the postwar boom and has been working forward ever since, episode by episode, refusing to skip the boring-sounding stuff because it usually isn't boring once you look closely. His style is unhurried and a little professorial in the best way — he clearly reads a lot, takes notes, and wants you to understand the context before he drops the punchline. Rogers is good at connecting economic policy, pop culture, and political shifts without making it feel like a textbook. He'll talk about suburban housing, a forgotten Senate vote, and a hit TV show in the same episode and make the thread feel obvious. Episodes are meaty, often over an hour, and occasionally he brings in guests who specialize in whatever chunk of the story he's working through. This is the show to queue up if you want to actually understand how America got from V-J Day to now.
