Introducing Antisemitism, U.S.A.: A History podcast from the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and R2 Studios

The Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (RRCHNM) at George Mason University is excited to announce the launch of Antisemitism, U.S.A., a limited podcast about the history of antisemitism in the United States. A narrative history podcast, Antisemitism, U.S.A. weaves together expert commentary with narration by Mark Oppenheimer to tell the story of antisemitism in the United States over the past 300 years. 

“We started researching Antisemitism, U.S.A. two years ago,” said Lincoln Mullen, a historian of American religion and the executive director of RRCHNM. “In the face of a rising tide of antisemitism in the United States, we wanted to create a podcast that was accessible to a larger audience who was interested in learning about the deep history of antisemitism in America.” 

Jeanette Patrick, executive producer and co-head of R2 Studios added, “Antisemitism, U.S.A., is a history podcast first and foremost. The experts interviewed for the series, which include renowned historians, museum professionals, and journalists, share very specific stories of antisemitism in American history. We hope the podcast will provide important historical context and lead to a better understanding of antisemitism as an issue in the United States.”

Antisemitism, U.S.A., is an R2 Studios production and is supported by the Henry Luce Foundation and David Bruce Smith Foundation. Antisemitism, U.S.A. is written by John Turner and Lincoln Mullen. The show is narrated by Mark Oppenheimer. Britt Tevis is the lead scholar. The series is executive produced by Jeanette Patrick and produced by Jim Ambuske.

The show is available July 11, 2024 wherever you listen to podcasts, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
