Given the popularity of our year-end “best of” episode, we have curated seven especially enlightening, entertaining, or surprising vignettes from the last six months. You’ll learn about Reagan’s novel approach to the Cold War; how Edith Wilson took the reins of executive power when her husband, Woodrow Wilson, suffered a stroke; what drew Jackie Bouvier to John F. Kennedy; and more.
Late last year we did a “best of” year-end podcast that focused on top moments from With the Bark Off. It was no easy task to choose those moments given the sheer volume of great material we had to draw from, but it was fun and proved to be very popular among our listeners. We decided to make this a biannual thing to reflect on those moments that stood out to us in the last six months.
In this episode you will find vignettes on Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Edith Wilson, Jackie Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Joe Biden.
