Yearview Mirror with Ken and Cliff
We're a couple of high school history teachers who discuss and debate each other's thoughts and ideas about U.S. history and popular culture. Each week, we create a big picture snapshot of one year in post-WWII America by using significant historical events to contextualize a handful of films, TV shows, and songs.
