All this week, we're joined by Nate DiMeo of The Memory Palace to talk about his new book, his long-running podcast, and the art of history storytelling.
Today: Jody, Niki, Kellie and Nate discuss the story of Hercules Posey, a man enslaved by George Washington, how it complicates Washington's legacy, and how the missing pieces of Posey's story can still add up to create a powerful legacy.
Be sure to get your copy of Nate's new book "The Memory Palace" now!
