The Liberty & Slavery Podcast

About the podcast

The Liberty & Slavery Podcast draws on interviews recorded for the documentary Liberty & Slavery: The Paradox of America's Founding Fathers. Produced by Inertia Films, it examines the contradiction between American ideals of freedom and the practice of enslavement. Guests discuss the founders, religion, economics, and life in early America. Other conversations explore historic sites and the evidence preserved through archaeology. The series extends the documentary's inquiry by giving more space to the people interviewed for it.
