Episode #67
Suzanne Munson joins me on the podcast today to talk about her latest book The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson. A unique and interesting way of finding out what's in the mind of one of the most well known historic figures.
PREMISE: IF YOU COULD TALK WITH THOMAS JEFFERSON, WHAT QUESTIONS WOULD YOU ASK?
Eight Jefferson authorities devised questions, thinking they were participating in a "history class project." Instead, they became part of an amazing adventure: a journey to the immortal mind of Mr. Jefferson himself, facilitated by an experienced medium.
From his place in spirit, Jefferson is not happy with the evolution of America's government and culture since the days of the Founding Fathers. America's government has lost its footing and is in need of a new revolution--not of war, but of integrity, he observes.
The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson records his views on Congress, the presidency, foreign policy, higher education, the military, religion, the media, slavery, race, and Sally Hemings. On government, Jefferson is discouraged by generations of "corruption, self-dealing, conformity, and confusion" in Washington. He is especially concerned about a gradual, insidious loss of freedom in the country.
The book concludes with Jefferson's call to action to the next generation of leaders: to form "Circles of Integrity," large enough to realize crucial reforms. He calls for a restructuring of all major American institutions.
Bio:
Suzanne Munson is a lover of history and author of books about America's Founding Fathers. She has just published The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson and previously wrote a biography about Jefferson's mentor, George Wythe, titled Jefferson's Godfather: The Man Behind the Man.
She lectures on the legacy of these two Founding Fathers at the college level and at various other venues. Following a career in corporate and non-profit communications, she turned her attention to writing and teaching. Her interest in history began as a child, hearing of the trials of her ancestors in 17th century Jamestown-area settlements and the exploits of her pioneer forebears a century later on Virginia's westernmost frontier.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
