Show Notes
Mike talks with journalist, editor, and publisher Kenneth Whyte, author of The Uncrowned King: The Sensational Rise of William Randolph Hearst and most recently, Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times. If you think Herbert Hoover was a boring conservative presidential nonentity, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
In this conversation, Mike and Ken discuss Hoover's swashbuckling and sketchy business career, his amazing humanitarian efforts in World War I (it was a crime that he didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize), how Hoover can amazingly lay claim to being the father of modern progressivism and modern conservatism, and lots more.
