George Washington Was… Kinda Hot?

Right Answers Mostly

Show Notes

This week, we’re joined by Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky , presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon , to talk all things George Washington

Dr. Chervinsky breaks down a George Washington you’ve probably never met: a little petty, a little theater-kid coded, low-key hot, surprisingly funny, occasionally temperamental, and undeniably courageous.

We get into the myths, the mess, the leadership, and why George’s particular brand of integrity (and humor!) is something we desperately wish we saw more of today.

Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo
