Are you nervous about getting to January 20? Us, too! So we did what we do: created a show that explored all the fraught and nutty inaugurations and transitions in American history. We found so much intrigue and tradition and petty that it will take two Bonus Episodes to put it all out! Here's Part One, from the Adams/Jefferson imbroglio to the Wilson/Harding shindig, complete with facts and, well, just a little fun! Enjoy - and watch out for Part Two super-soon!
