About this listen

Jefferson may have had fast horses and a fancy violin, but in this episode, Kyle and Eric are here to expose the soft-handed myth of the so-called “common man” and hand the mic to someone way more impressive: Benjamin. Freaking. Banneker.

We’re talking clocks made out of wood that ran for 50 years, almanacs so accurate they made 18th-century sailors weep, and abolitionist essays sneakily tucked between tide charts. Oh, and he casually called Jefferson out to his face (well, via letter, but still—savage).

Meanwhile, Jefferson’s biggest accomplishment? The swivel chair. Cute.

Come for the roast, stay for the brilliance. And maybe start questioning who really deserves a spot on Mount Rushmore.
