DB Comedy Presents THE ELECTABLES

President 32B - Franklin Delano Roosevelt - The Depression Years

Episode Summary

We settle into the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt by exploring and having fun with those oh-so-delightful Great Depression years, where he pulled the country through most of the worst years of the Republic - even if you have great-grandparents who think it was some of our best years. We are again joined by Roosevelt University Historian Dr. Margie Rung, and we hope you gather around your personal audio sound system as if it was a beautiful piece of furniture to enjoy Part 2 of FDR!
