Show Notes

I recently got to interview Robert Caro, who is my favorite author of all time. 
This gave me the excuse to reread his biographies of Lyndon Johnson and Robert Moses, and to compile my prep notes into this video essay.
These guys pulled off some truly incredible schemes.
Thanks to Max Farrens, who paired with me in writing the script for this video essay.
