On August 4, 2025, the podcast Borrowed and Returned aired an episode called “The Legacy of Howard Zinn’s Radical History.” From the introduction: “When Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States came out in 1980, it literally rocked the boat. Instead of starting where most histories of the Americas start — on the deck of Columbus’s ship as it approached land — Howard Zinn flipped the script, focusing instead on what the people standing on the shore would have seen.”
