The Response USA: Return to the voices of 2016published at 15:46 British Summer Time 20 October 2020
The BBC has returned to a unique experiment carried out in the wake of the surprise election of Donald Trump in 2016. Back then the BBC World Service, with American Public Media, asked for smartphone voice recordings from people across Middle America - talking about their lives, about why they voted the way they did, and their hopes for the future.
Four years on, we went back to those contributors to see how their lives changed and what they want to happen now. Listen on this page, or on BBC Sounds.
