Stephen is back on the podcast to give some context to a long-running bit with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin in this special introduction to her latest appearance on The Late Show.

Her latest book “An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s” is available now.
