Before we get going, a quick word
0:02
about our fellow Radiootopia Show
0:04
this day in esoteric political
0:06
history. It's a long title, but
0:08
a short show. Each episode,
0:11
the host of the show, tell you the story
0:13
of one fascinating moment from US
0:15
history that took place on that day
0:17
and discuss what it might have to teach us
0:19
about our current moment. This
0:22
day is hosted by Jody Allergan, formally
0:24
of five thirty eight and thirty for thirty,
0:27
and two actual historians, Kelly
0:29
Carter Jackson of Wellesley, and
0:31
Nicole Hammer of Vanderbilt. Some
0:34
stories that they've broken down recently include
0:36
Nancy Reagan's obsession with astrology, their
0:39
first jaywalking law in the United States,
0:42
The time a black activist confronted
0:44
Woodrow Wilson in the office
0:47
and lots more. Stories are serious,
0:49
they're silly, from recent history and
0:51
from way in the past. The
0:53
show is short, it's fun. It'll make
0:56
you think. Check out this day in
0:58
