If you can tolerate the infernal violin playing on top of the dialog, this is the podcast for you! While some of the information is probably very sound and educational, some topics are covered in such a way as to inject modern (and ridiculous!) social justice dogma which would not have existed in Jefferson's time.

Description

Stories and news from the worlds of Thomas Jefferson, the larger Monticello community, and the life of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.
