Obama's Years is a two-part radio documentary that explores how life has changed for Americans over the last eight years.

In the first hour, 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 year.

Join us as we bring you the first part of this NPR documentary on Sunday, July 17 at 7 p.m. The second part can be heard next Sunday, July 24, also at 7 p.m.
