In the podcast series The Real Issue - The Real Debates, Rodney Davis and Douglas Wilson, co-directors of the Lincoln Studies Center at Knox College, discuss each of the historic Lincoln-Douglas Debates.
Their book, The Lincoln Douglas Debates: The Lincoln Studies Center Edition, is the first critical edition of the debate texts ever published. Drawing on their expertise and decades of research on Lincoln and Illinois history, they examine all the existing texts and bring us as close as possible to what Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas actually said in the most important series of debates in American history.
The podcasts are in MP3 format, each less than 10 minutes long.
