Minute 24S2E6 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington v. ArrivalBest friend and opera up-and-comer Elizabeth Hayhurst joins me in a tiny room. She shows me Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and I dream of the olden days. I make incredibly far off predictions and never mention (not even once) that I know the full Gettysburg address.
Then I show her Arrival and RUIN the movie, but not the experience. She makes some valiant guesses after not seeing nearly enough of the movie and, I think we have a good time.

Leadership and Legacy: Conversations at the George Washington Presidential Library133. Facing the Wrath of Rachel Jackson's God with Melissa GismondiIf you know anything about Rachel Jackson, chances are you know her best as Andrew Jackson’s wife.

Legally speaking, she was. In the early 1790s, Rachel and Andrew learned that her first husband, Lewis Robards, had never finalized their divorce. The Jacksons’ marriage was seemingly illegitimate. After a court granted Robards a divorce in 1794 on the basis of Rachel’s alleged adultery, Rachel and Andrew married again just to b...2019-11-2144 min
