It's an interview of two historians who co-edited a recent book on him.

Perfect introduction and an interesting pod imo.

      Way to totally out yourself as a lib tbh, I did title this "for the libs in your life" :tito-laugh:

      Thought it was an interesting listen though. Gonna get their book on libgen and add it to the infinite queue.
