"Unknown America" aired on WGXC from June 2024 to January 2025.
"Unknown America" is a show that dives into places, people, events, and other aspects of American history that often go overlooked. Through occasional interviews, on-site reporting, frantically obsessive research, and personal accounts, the listener will emerge out the other side just a bit wiser and more curious about the forgotten footnotes of history that make America fascinating, curious, and complicated.
