(MINI) Hidden Things to See in DC

Canden and Dan talk about some of the little things you might miss in DC at memorials and sites in the city.

(EARLY RELEASE) The Election of 1968, Part III

Join us as we explore the election of 1968.

 

(PATRON ONLY) Butt & Millet

Our November patron episode takes us to the intersection of presidential aides, the Titanic and the age old question of relationships in history. Archibald Butt and Frances Millet were advisors to Taft and drowned on the Titanic after vacationing together in Europe. Which begs the questions, were they more than good friends. Come with us on a bit of historical mystery!
