To mark Independence Day, the Airwave podcast network and esteemed national radio host Michael Medved have launched THE AMERICAN MIRACLE WITH MICHAEL MEDVED, a weekly podcast on American history.
THE AMERICAN MIRACLE is inspired by Michael Medved’s bestselling books, THE AMERICAN MIRACLE: DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN THE RISE OF THE REPUBLIC and GOD’S HAND ON AMERICA: DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN THE MODERN ERA. In each episode of THE AMERICAN MIRACLE, Michael Medved will recount some of the most critical events in America’s rise to prosperity and power, from the creation of the Constitution to the Civil War. He will reveal a sequence of improbabilities and marvels that illustrate what the Founders always believed: that events unfolded according to a master plan, with destiny playing an unmistakable role in elevating the nation to greatness.
THE AMERICAN MIRACLE WITH MICHAEL MEDVED will premiere with two new episodes on 1st July 2024.
EP 1. Cigars: Lincoln, Emancipation, and Waiting for a Sign – At the peak of the Civil War, a weary Union soldier discovers three cigars in an open field. These turn out to be the most significant cigars in history, providing President Abraham Lincoln with the sign he needed to free three million enslaved people.
EP 2. Two Close Calls: Franklin and Winston Dodge Disaster – In the early 1930s, within fourteen pivotal months, two violent American incidents nearly killed the two individuals most essential for the Allied victory in World War II. Both survivors acknowledged the providential nature of their escapes, with historians and novelists speculating on how shifts of inches could have changed the fate of humanity.
THE AMERICAN MIRACLE is accessible on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major podcast platforms.
