    The Sunday Story: America's first female president?

    On October 2, 1919, then President Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke that left him blind in one eye, partially paralyzed and barely able to write his own name. He was in the midst of his second term. For the remainder of his presidency, some 17 months, his wife managed his duties, serving as a kind of de facto president. Today, as we celebrate Women's History Month, Steve Inskeep joins us to share his interview with Rebecca Boggs Roberts, author of Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson.

Surprise! Now you need to subscribe!

Woke up this morning to listen and I find out that I have to subscribe to listen. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll get my news elsewhere.

NPR if you want people to give you money maybe try not pulling stunts that piss people off.

Basically MSNBC

This Podcast is absurdly left wing. It’s blatantly obvious that the “journalists” on this show hate Republicans and Conservatives. Steve Inskeep is the worst. Real journalists should not show their political leanings. This Podcast is nothing but left wing propaganda that tries to appear like real journalism.
