In Episode 1, we trace Reagan’s unlikely transformation from small-town Democrat to Hollywood liberal, and finally to conservative crusader. Raised in poverty in the Midwest, he found fame on the silver screen before becoming a union activist, only to be pulled rightward by Cold War paranoia, tax battles, and a new marriage.

105. How Putin is Playing Trump

Katty is joined by historian and co-host of Goalhanger’s Journey Through Time, Sarah Churchwell, to discuss their new series on the History of The National Rifle Association. 

How does the history of the National Rifle Association help us better understand how Trump got into power? How did the NRA go from a sportsman’s organisation set up to improve marksmanship following the civil war to a for-profit group fighting gun regulation? How did firearms become integral to certain conceptions of American national identity?

Listen to David Olusoga and Sarah Churchwell on Journey Through Time to get the full story.
