<p><br></p><p>"American Experience Presents" brings a fresh take on the iconic stories told on TV's most-watched history series. This 10-episode anthology launches with three powerful narratives: Joseph McCarthy, whose anti-communist crusade terrorized 1950s America; media titan William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper mogul whose empire shaped public opinion for decades; and Sgt. Isaac Woodard, the decorated World War II veteran whose brutal assault by police sparked a civil rights awakening. This new GBH podcast examines how these three transformative figures shaped pivotal moments in 20th century America, bringing their stories to life for a new generation of listeners.</p><p>Connect with American Experience on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.</p><p><br></p><p>-----------------------------------</p><p><strong>Credits:</strong></p><p><strong>Lead Producer: </strong>Devin Maverick Robins</p><p><strong>Associate Producer: </strong>Meiqian He</p><p><strong>Scriptwriters: </strong>Galen Beebe and Andrew Newman</p><p><strong>Story Editor: </strong>Devin Maverick Robins </p><p><strong>Editorial Advisor:</strong> John Bredar</p><p><strong>Sound Designer: </strong>Jack Pombriant</p><p><strong>Narrators: </strong>James Edwards and Cameo George</p><p><strong>Executive Producer: </strong>Cameo George</p>
