Anyone else watching this? Great job by Ken Burns again.

Best segment so far..... Teddy was shot while on the campaign trail. The bullet went through a 50 page speech tucked in his jacket and lodged in his rib. He carried on and delivered an hour long campaign speech which began with "I don't know that you fully understand that I've been shot." They finally had to drag him off the stage to get medical treatment.

It's been a great show. By coincidence I just finished Dan Carlin's American Peril podcast. That was a great pre cursor to this show.

I just finished part one and was sort of left with the feeling that TR was a tremendous a-hole. Also I don't really envision him talking like Paul Giamatti.

The relationship between Eleanor and FDR reminds me of Hillary and Bill.
