Talking Culture: Uncovering the Man in the Iron Mask, with Sarah Madry

Welcome to Talking Culture! In this weekly interview series from 97.9 The Hill WCHL, you’ll hear from writers, performers, musicians and individuals involved in advancing and promoting cultural arts in our community. This week, Aaron welcomes Sarah Madry, whose book “Second Son: The Man in the Iron Mask” attempts to resolve a 300-year-old mystery: who was that mysterious masked French prisoner, whose identity has eluded scholars and fascinated millions for centuries? After over a decade of research and multiple trips to France, Madry says she thinks she might have an answer – one that draws on medical knowledge as well as European history, scouring old documents for long-hidden clues. 97.9 The Hill WCHL and Chapelboro.com are your headquarters for local news and local voices in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.
