On Thursday and Friday evenings June 30th and July 1st, JPR will broadcast a special 2-part documentary from NPR called Obama's Years.
Obama’s Years explores how life has changed for Americans over the last eight years. On Thursday, NPR’s Steve Inskeep travels the country to places in which President Obama delivered speeches, and checks in with Americans living in those places to ask about their perspectives on the issues the president discussed. From Denver to Wichita to Philadelphia, audiences will hear people talk about their jobs, aspirations and family life. They’ll discuss issues like healthcare, immigration, guns and race relations and how those issues have played into their lives in the last eight years.
On Friday, Inskeep will sit down with President Obama at the White House and ask the president how he thinks the country has changed during his presidency. Inskeep will also talk to the President about the thoughts, ideas and lives of the people he met during the reporting for this documentary.
Obama's Years airs on the Classics & News Service Thursday June 30th and Friday July 1st at 6pm, and on the News & Information Service at 7pm.
