"This Day" takes you beyond the head-spinning headlines of today and into the unexpected historical moments that have shaped American politics and culture. Each episode explores a moment from that day in U.S. political history to uncover its lasting impact. On Sunday episodes, the hosts react to current news with their usual mix of humor, analysis, and historical perspective. To mark our 250th birthday, “This Day” presents "50 Weeks That Shaped America," a series of deep dives into the stories that brought us to this moment.
