Drinkin’ with Lincoln is a podcast from WNIJ that looks at Abraham Lincoln’s life, land and legacy through the eyes of the people who know him best: Lincoln presenters (commonly known as Lincoln impersonators, a term many Lincoln presenters avoid). Each episode, a Lincoln presenter joins host Clint Cargile as he explores sites significant (and sometimes not-so-significant) to Abraham Lincoln’s life in Illinois. Then Clint and his guest Lincoln find the nearest brewpub or brewery to quaff a beer (sometimes two) so we can get to know the man behind the beard: where he comes from, why he does what he does, what makes him Lincoln.

What a man what a man what a mighty good Lincoln

I love how the Lincoln presenter is not only an actor, presenter, a history buff, and a translator, and so many other things... Interpreting the character not only to the extent of emulating the 16th president to anyone who will think they look like him, but to anyone who will listen to the words of the president himself.
The canteen clink (or thunk) is great!
