Episode Twenty-six: Ray Charles

Emma and Cami discuss the famous singer, Ray Charles, today. He had a rough life, which stinks, but he contributed a ton to the world of music, and influenced such greats as Elvis, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Wonder! Way to go, Ray!

Cami and Emma explore the life of P.T. Barnum, the circus guy and subject of recent Hollywood movie The Greatest Showman. Spoiler Alert: he’s a little shady.

Episode Twenty-three: Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Edison, surprisingly, is one of the more wholesome subjects we have covered thus far (despite being BFFs with Henry Ford, holder of the 2018 CYL Worst Person Ever Award). Thanks to Alison for the episode suggestion! For old episodes, check us out at checkyourlegacy.com

Episode Twenty-Two: Annie Oakley

This week, Cameron reveals her deep and intense hatred for the makers of the 1950 musical starring Betty Hutton, Annie Get Your Gun.

Episode Nineteen: Henry Ford Part One

We’re back on schedule, and better than ever. This week, Cameron and Emma draw a line in the sand. No more hour-long episodes! This week, they discuss the boring parts of Henry Ford’s life so that next week we can get to all the juicy and exciting bits (spoiler alert: this guy is terrible).

Episode Eighteen: Gertrude Ederle

Sorry for the late episode again, this is the only thing that Cameron consistently procrastinates on… Anyway, we have a very special Olympics-themed episode this week, about the 1924 Olympics, a water baby, and the English Channel!

Episode Seventeen: Richard Nixon

In a ridiculously long episode, Cameron and Emma set some unrealistic expectations of understanding and academia. Finally, a podcast subject with a robust Wikipedia page! (just kidding…)
