Before we start today's show, I want to give you a heads up about something new from

the Washington Post.

If you've listened to the Post's History Podcast, Presidential or Moonrise, you know

Lillian Cunningham is a great guide to our country's complicated past.

Now, she has a new podcast, guiding you through America's National Parks, their iconic landscapes,

and messy history.

And on certain future, it's the perfect companion for your summer road trip.

The trailer is out now.

You can subscribe to Field Trip wherever you get your podcasts.

And we'll put a link in our show notes.
