History for the Headlines: 2015 in Review

KALW | By Matt Martin
Published December 27, 2015 at 8:47 AM PST

As 2015 comes to a close, BackStory is winding back the clock to hear what some favporite moments from the show have to say about the year’s major news stories.

What does the 19th century populist movement tell us about the 2016 presidential campaign? And how does the 1897 battle over America’s first long-distance oil pipeline connect to the Keystone XL debate? 

Hear all about it on BackStory, Monday, December 28th at Noon.
