Pandemic Democracy, Part 1 - A SPECIAL EPISODE!

DB Comedy interrupts our regular podcasts for our first SPECIAL EPISODE, wherein we do a deep dive into how various Presidents handled various wide-spread illnesses from the time the Republic became a Republic to just about now. In what is the first of two podcasts, we travel from colonial times all the way up to the misnamed but widespread "Spanish" Flu.This episode’s sketches were Written and Produced by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoRamona KyweSylvia MannPaul MoultonAnd Patrick J.
