In the inaugural episode of our new podcast, Jake and Justin discuss the first two episodes of the Apple TV+ limited series “Manhunt.” This show, based on James Swanson’s book of the same name, follows the hunt for John Wilkes Booth following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865.
In the show, you’ll hear about:
A beardless, not grumpy enough Edwin Stanton
Attempts to steal Daniel Day-Lewis’s Lincoln voice
John Wilkes Booth’s fame level – before the assassination
Centering the narrative of race and Reconstruction in the story of Lincoln’s assassination
And more!
We also introduce our closing segment – the Postscript
