President 31 - Herbert Hoover

If you are of a certain age and you had close relatives that lived through the Depression, chances are there was one President whose name would make them spit and curse - and we're here to see whether all that stuff Grandma and Grandpa said about Mr. Caused-the-Depression himself, Herbert Hoover, still holds up after all these years. Think of this as a Thanksgiving dinner without the sad stories and with a lot more jokes. As much as you can when discussing the personification of an economic cataclysm, enjoy!This episode’s sketches were Written, Produced, and Performed by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.
