There were no podcasts in 1922. But what if there had been?
The answer: something very much like First Draft. Each week, our hosts cover and discuss what's happening in the America of 1922, based on the actual newspapers, wire dispatches and radio bulletins from their day. Our two correspondents are built from composites of real working journalists of their era: their words, sentiments, temperaments and biases.
Neither of our correspondents knows what the future might hold. Join them as they enter the age of jazz, Prohibition, women's suffrage, professionalizing sports, and a curious new gadget that could be revolutionary, or simply a fad: the radio.
First Draft launches in September. Sign up for a notification over the wire when it launches.
