Happy Valentine’s Day! But we’re celebrating with a bit of a twist. President’s Day is close, so why not combine the two and discuss some amorous activities of our White House occupants? We all know about Marilyn Monroe and Monica Lewinsky, but which one of our presidents had an affair with his sister-in-law? And did you know that one of our presidents was probably gay? And, finally, find out which president decided to name his, uh, well, just give it a listen. That and so much more!

E26 - Murder and the First Amendment
In 1983, a single mother in Florida wrote a how-to-murder book titled, Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors. A decade later, a man used this book for instructions on committing a triple murder. Can the families of the deceased hold the publisher liable, or is the publisher protected by the First Amendment? It’s a fascinating case that gets crazier with a twist at the end!
