Dawn and guest, Kelly Vrooman, go down the rabbit hole with neither the first nor the last "disgraced" American president.  Join them as they review the unlikely rise and spectacular fall or Richard Nixon. Hear about the founding of the EPA, the Watergate burglars, and the insane story of Martha Mitchell.

Join host, Dawn Brodey, and a LIVE audience to hear this most-titillating chapter from The Golden Age of Piracy, the tale of Mary Read and Anne Bonny. Born in very different circumstances and on opposite sides of the Atlantic, their worlds would collide and eventually combine in the most swash-buckingly way. 

Hear pirate trivia with comedian, Becca Melkonian.

Test your knowledge against comedian, Meryl Klemow.

Get to know my classmate, and future history professor, Stacey Hovhannisyan.
