Rosamund Pike stars as Edith Wilson in "Edith!" a scripted comedy podcast exploring the untold true-ish story of America's secret First Female President.
After President Woodrow Wilson suffered a massive, paralyzing stroke in the White House, Edith Wilson did the unthinkable: she told no one. And for almost a year following the end of World War I, Edith Wilson acted as the de facto unelected President. She would sign documents as him. She would fire people as him. She would even cause international incidents as him. And all along the way, enemies both internal and external, inched closer to finding out her secret. New episodes every Thursday.

Customer Reviews
Absolute Favorite Podcast
The creators of this podcast absolutely nail the balance between historical storytelling and charming, self-aware humor. I like audio dramas but it seems that they are all in the sci-fi/mystery/crime thriller arena, so this factionalized historical tale, was an amazing change and a real treat. Perfectly written and perfectly acted! I have listened to it twice and regularly check back to see if they’re doing another season. Perhaps another episode from US history? Please?
Loved it
Rosamund Pike is a gem. It was a fun ride with Edith, and poignant and sweet and sad at times. Two thumbs up.
Couldn’t Stop!
I was re-listening to an episode of of Lovett or Leave It this evening and he played the first episode of Edith! I was hooked from the start- it’s funny, engaging, and has a great mix of history and comedy. It’s very different from any other podcast I’ve come across and o hope they make more like it!
