Recorded live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada!

Historian, speechwriter, and author Arthur Milnes regales us with tales of the U.S. presidents and Canadian prime ministers he has known.

In this episode, Arthur shares:

• The Nixon Connection: Why he ended up "chaining up" Richard Nixon in his backyard (it’s not what you think!).

• A Living Legacy: His unique garden filled with trees planted by presidents and prime ministers.

• The Carter Surprise: What happened when his wife discovered he’d offered to host Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter overnight—and the unexpected gift Dan Aykroyd sent for the occasion.

Beyond the anecdotes, Arthur reminds us that the office and the individuals who hold it are worthy of respect, even when we find ourselves at odds with their political positions.
