From Boomers to Millennials: A Modern US History Podcast

Most American history podcasts gravitate toward the founding era, the Civil War, or World War II. Logan Rogers went the other direction. From Boomers to Millennials covers modern US history -- the kind that happened within living memory but rarely gets the podcast treatment it deserves. Think the 1960s through the early 2000s: the cultural upheavals, political shifts, and social changes that shaped the country your parents or grandparents grew up in. With 52 episodes, this is a more modest production than the mega-shows on this list, but Rogers has found an audience that appreciates the specific focus. The show covers an era that falls into an awkward gap: too recent for traditional history podcasts, too old for current events shows. Rogers fills that gap with solid research and a conversational delivery style that keeps things moving. The appeal here is generational. If you've ever wondered why Boomers and Millennials see the world so differently, or how the political landscape shifted so dramatically between the Reagan era and the Obama years, Rogers traces those connections episode by episode. The show pairs well with broader survey podcasts because it zooms in on the decades that most other shows speed through. It's not flashy, and it doesn't have a massive production budget, but the content is thoughtful and fills a real need in the history podcast space.
