Episode Details

A bold new project is “debriefing” American history by examining 43 presidents and 30 first ladies through weekly essays, aiming to extract timeless lessons from their triumphs and missteps—without partisan bias. Curator Colleen Shogan, who faced a mysterious firing from her archivist role, insists the project welcomes all readers, regardless of political views. Recent essays spotlight George Washington’s humility in stepping down and Ulysses S. Grant’s moral courage over ambition, themes eerily relevant today. Managed by nonpartisan group More Perfect, this initiative offers a balanced, critical look at leadership to guide modern democracy—new essays roll out through December.
