It's Will's birthday! Celebrate with us as we listen to an almost 20 year old tape he found of his grandma, Olga Gotto, discussing the history of the 1950's with his sister Lisa for a high school project. We hope you have and have had a happy Thanksgiving. We're thankful to YOU for listening.

Will's Birthday Gift from Grandma Olga

Let's be honest. History is full of f*cked up sh*t. But what are we gonna do, pretend like it never happened? Have a drink with your host, actor and writer Will Sterling, and his more qualified former Presidential Speechwriting co-host, Dr. Craig Smith. They unpack the silly, salacious, scandalous, and serious stuff in history. If we don't learn from the past, we're doomed to repeat it. So let's at least try to do it with honesty and, wherever possible, a laugh.
