© 2026 American Rhapsody
Description
On each episode of American Rhapsody we interview those who have witnessed American history firsthand: politicians, reporters, photographers and activists—all of whom have since donated their personal or professional archives to the Briscoe Center.

Each week we ask: what actually happened? The sum of all those answers in an American Rhapsody.
