1932 election
This podcast asks why Roosevelt was able to emerge as the overwhelming choice of the US public in the election of 1932. It explores the state that the USA was in as a result of the depression and the failures of the existing President, Herbert Hoover. It looks at what Roosevelt had to offer, his promise of a ‘New Deal’ for the American people to relieve the misery of the depression years. Was it more Hoover’s failings or Roosevelt’s success?
