Because Chicago Public Square loves you, here’s a special Saturday edition, bringing you a fresh Square podcast to accompany your journey over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house. Or whatever.
It’s an interview recorded on-stage just this week with Barack Obama’s award-winning first biographer, David Mendell—in which he explains, among other things, why he doesn’t expect his book to hold a place of honor in Obama’s presidential library.
If you’ve had it with bad news about the present president, a return to the political roots of his predecessor may cure what ails ya.
Hear here.
