The search for the funniest president continues! Herbert Hoover unfairly takes the rap for the Great Depression ... but if we look past all that economic moping, was he actually a funny guy?

Tom Schwartz, the director of the Hoover Library and Museum in West Branch, Iowa, helps us find out. We discuss how Bert's Quaker upbringing shaped his self-expression, review some of his truly amazing accomplishments and explore his special (and humorous) connection with the youth of America.
