The Court of History


The Court of History, hosted by historian Sean Wilentz and biographer and journalist Sidney Blumenthal, brings history directly into the battles shaping America today.

Featuring leading historians, journalists, writers, and public figures, the podcast offers lively, provocative conversations about politics, democracy, the presidency, the Supreme Court, and the contested American past.

Part of the Legal AF/MeidasTouch family—and prominently cited when Legal AF swept the 2026 Webby Awards for Best News & Politics Podcast—The Court of History has in a remarkably short time won an enormous American and international audience, including top opinion makers nationwide.

Recent guests have included Maggie Haberman, Jacob Weisberg, Kai Bird, and Congressman Jamie Raskin.
