Thomas Jefferson
If you've never listened to the Thomas Jefferson Hour, you need to. It is hands down my favorite of the many historical podcasts out there.
Before you dive in, allow me to briefly explain how it works. For the first half of the show the host, Clay Jenkinson, plays the role of Thomas Jefferson. He answers listener questions written to Thomas Jefferson, he discusses policy that he (Thomas Jefferson) supported, and he rails on his arch nemesis, Alexander Hamilton. Then for the second half hour Clay Jenkinson speaks as himself, and analyzes what Thomas Jefferson said during the first half of the show. Brilliant.
Here's one of my all time favorite T.J. hours called "Presidential Blunders." Listen to this episode now, or download it on itunes. The itunes release date was 4/9/06.
