    For many of us, Ulysses S. Grant is the most compelling figure of the American Civil War. On this week’s “Leaders and Legends” podcast we interview John Reeves, author of “Soldier of Destiny: Slavery, Secession, and the Redemption of Ulysses S. Grant” No other consequential figure in the Civil War overcame so much to accomplish so much.

    Radio Legend Laura Steele

    Radio Legend Laura Steele

    On the list of most delightful, friendly, and hardworking Hoosiers, Laura Steele’s name should be at the very top. On this week’s “Leaders and Legends” podcast, the Pike High School Queen of Rock and Roll discusses her career, the famous people with whom she has crossed paths, and her love for all things Indiana. Just like on social media and when you meet her in person, Laura was a funny and fantastic interview.

    Documentarians Luke Rynderman and Adam Kamien on “The Speedway Murders”

    Documentarians Luke Rynderman and Adam Kamien on “The Speedway Murders”

    Their names are Jayne, Mark, Ruth, and Danny. They were abducted from the Burger Chef in Speedway on November 17, 1978; their bodies were found two days later in a wooded area of Johnson County. Their killers have never been brought to justice. On this week’s “Leaders and Legends” podcast, the writers/directors of a brilliant and chilling new documentary “The Speedway Murders”, Australians Luke Rynderman and Adam Kamien, discuss what compelled them to make this film, their own theories about the case, and how the police investigation was botched from the second it was discovered the employees were gone.

    Talmage Boston, Author of “How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons from Our Top Presidents”

    The ranking and reputation of presidents certainly change over time—but there are a core of executive leaders who are consistently hallowed for getting the Big Things right. On this week’s “Leaders and Legends” podcast, we interview historian Talmage Boston about his splendid and insightful new book “How the Best Did It: Leadership Lessons from Our Top Presidents.” Mr. Boston examines both the good and the bad of these men and leaves the reader with a stronger understanding of what greatness is all about.

Great podcast

Robert - I just listened to Andrew Nagorski podcast. That was awesome! The context he gave on events in 1941 kept me hooked. Also, you are a very good interviewer. I am a subscriber now and will go back and listen to some past shows. Well done!
