Ultimate List of American History Audio Drama

The history of the United States of America is filled with amazing events and extraordinary people. Audio drama has been a big part of  the entertainment world in the US over the last century and many of them have retold the country's history. 

It may be hard to find certain audio dramas on all the many aspects of its history. You may want to hear a different perspective on a familiar account or you may want to learn about some stories that you never heard about in school. That's why we've created a list of several audio dramas about American history

You'll find stories of America's founding, wars, and explorations. Famous and some little-known stories of American heroes and events are listed, too. There are also some historical fiction productions as well.

As always, please be aware that not every single one of the productions listed is intended for all ages to hear. As always, we recommend that parents preview each one to judge whether it is appropriate for their children's ages.

Are there some shows or episodes that didn't put on this list? Leave us a comment with the titles of any you think we should add! We'll be updating this post as we find out about more productions.
