Episode notes
⏳ Twice a year, millions of Americans change their clocks — but not every state does. This episode traces the history of Daylight Saving Time from Benjamin Franklin to modern legislation, exploring why the system was created, why many people dislike it today, and how it affects sleep, safety, and daily life.
Designed for intermediate English learners, this episode builds comprehension through real cultural context. Listeners learn how the U.S. time system works, why Hawaii and Arizona do not participate, and what the government has attempted to change. A useful guide for anyone wanting to know more about American timekeeping traditions.
