War of 1812 Radio Show

Here is a good interview concerning the War of 1812 on Generations Radio (which, incidentally, I work for as Program Director):

The War of 1812: Commemorating 200 Years
"History may not be a big deal to some, but our nation and culture are made by events like the War of 1812. This year marks the 200th year anniversary of the war. It was the last time a foreign nation invaded our shores. Historian Bill Potter explains the complexities, aggressors, stimulants to war, battles fought, and effects of this memorable war in America’s history."
