Todd promises to write a song called “Everywhere is Gone” in time for next year's Writers Hall of Fame gala. When Todd turned 21, he began traveling to as many different countries as he could. He's been to approximately 50 countries. He's now thinking about places he would like to revisit. He's also been trying to explore more of East Tennessee. Todd considered visiting all the major league baseball stadiums but changed his mind. Frank's father was a New York Giants fan and he used to take Frank to Mets games when the San Francisco Giants were visiting. Todd went to a UT baseball game at Lindsey Nelson Stadium on the UT campus. This episode is sponsored by BoneZones.com (don't forget the S).

In the summer of 1920, 35 states had ratified the 19th Amendment, 12 had rejected it or refused to vote, and one last state was needed or the amendment might die. After a seven-decade crusade, it all came down to Tennessee; it was the moment of truth for the suffragists, and also for their antagonists, the "Antis." The political freedom of half of the nation was at stake. In The Woman's Hour, Elaine Weiss tells the story of the nail-biting climax of one of the greatest political battles in American history—the fight to ratify the constitutional amendment that gave women the vote. http://www.knoxfriends.org/ (Friends of Knox County Public Library), http://unionavebooks.com/ (Union Ave Books), the http://www.easttnhistory.org/ (East Tennessee Historical Society), radio station http://wuot.org/ (WUOT) and the Knox County Public Library hosted the evening with award-winning journalist and writer http://elaineweiss.com/ (Elaine Weiss) on March 8, 2018. In her remarks, Weiss asserted the relevance of the events of that summer to today's political environment.
