No panels. No debate. No agenda. Just two brilliant minds talking shop. For the debut episode, Peter sits down with two of America's foremost historians of the founding era and asks one deceptively simple question: Were the Founding Fathers Good Men? Dr. Joseph J. Ellis \u2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Founding Brothers, American Sphinx, His Excellency: George Washington, and The Cause \u2014 and Dr. Carol Berkin \u2014 Presidential Professor Emerita at CUNY and author of Revolutionary Mothers, A Brilliant Solution, and The Bill of Rights \u2014 join Peter for nearly an hour of warm, honest, and occasionally surprising conversation.
