How Ken Burns Tells A Story

Creative Commons

Ken Burns has had an enormous impact, not just on filmmaking, but on how we understand our histories. He’s given us a long, deep look at the Civil War and World War II, the American pastime baseball, the American musical form jazz, and the people who have shaped our history, like the Roosevelts.

He’s coming to town Tuesday for the Baltimore Speakers Series presented by Stevenson University. This morning, Sheilah got a chance to ask him how he does what he does.

Sheilah Kast is the host of On The Record, Monday-Friday, 9:30-10:00 am.
