Since the first American newspaper was published in 1690, millions more have been printed.
Dave Anthony picks a paper from a day in history and reads it to co-host Gareth Reynolds and the host of the podcast Cautionary Tales, Tim Hartford.
New episodes of The Past Times will be right here every Thursday.
