We come to a true epic of American Presidential history: Franklin Roosevelt. His Presidency is the one everyone looked up to - at least until Reagan came around. But what were some of the highlights of FDR's life before he hit the White House? Join us with Special Guest Historian Dr. Margaret Rung of (where else?) Roosevelt University in Chicago, as we begin our deep and goofy dive into Mr. Nothing-to-Fear! (And also Mrs. Nothing-to-Fear, Eleanor!)
