Did we find him? What happened? We attempt to live fully into our mission to make you laugh and make you cry with this one – you might want a blanket and a bottle of wine to get through it. Email us at thefirstmichaelpodcast@gmail.com and let us know your reaction!

But is there a cliffhanger? People, please. It's what we do.

A teacher demonstrates the hard lessons of the frontier, a man's photo causes a firestorm, and a freedom rider rises in the face of the Jim Crow. Hosted by CJ Hunt.
