Customer Reviews
US History Since 1877
I have only had time to listen to 30 thru 13 and have found them very enjoyable. Brief, to the point and factual. This is probably a Freshman/sophmore survey class. A great basic background in the events. Dr. Reilly's voice is clear and distinct.
a sense of history
These are wonderful short podcasts focusing on the major personalities and events in the 20th century. A very good compliment to Jennifer Burn's more in depth podcasts.
One of my favorite podcasts
Dr. Reilly truly knows history and how to convey not-so-well-known points to her audience. I am using her American history lectures to prepare myself for two CLEP exams and I know I'll do well. Thank you Dr. Reilly!
