Stream Season 6 now with KPBS Passport! David Rubenstein’s skillful questioning of acclaimed writers like Robert A. Caro, Ron Chernow, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and many others effectively takes us behind the scenes, enabling a rare insight into the American story and a real sense of how history gets made.

Produced by the New York Historical Society, "History with David Rubenstein" explores American history in half-hour conversations with distinguished authors and scholars who tell the country’s diverse stories, and explain why the past matters, how it informs the present, and what it portends for the future.

On the latest episode of The Finest podcast, Claudia Rodríguez-Biezunski, fashion designer and owner of Sew Loka, draws on family and heritage to bring Our Lady of Guadalupe into contemporary fashion.

While visiting the Mingei International Museum, Claudia gave host Julia Dixon Evans a tour of "Guadalajara," a textile jacket she constructed from various upcycled fabrics, including suede, leather and cotton flannel.
