Radio KPAST

As I listened to The Thomas Jefferson Hour yesterday, the following thought crossed my mind:

Imagine that suddenly, you're motivated to thoroughly research a famous historical figure, and present a weekly podcast in character as that person. You have to play it straight - no parodies or sitcoms. Who do you choose?

Aye, I do enjoy that programme. I miss it :(

Oh! But Free mp3 downloads! *sweet* :)

As for an actual answer, if I can't be Thos. Jefferson...

Hrm. Maybe Teddy Roosevelt, but possibly Robert E. Lee.

Neither were perfect, but they were influential, and not completely understood. Lots of seeming contradictions that would make the knowing interesting.

I would also like to know WTF was Woodrow Wilson all about, anyway... Dude had some real issues...
