In this episode, I sit dow in the legendary Mary Mac’s Tea Room in Atlanta to chat with Troy Thomas, president of Inertia Films. We discuss his love of history, his documentary Liberty and Slavery: The Paradox of America’s Founding Fathers and his company’s live shot van which allows politicians and high-ranking government officials from the Atlanta area to appear on live television right from their home.

My Current Media Diet:
Books I’m Reading
The Exchange by John Grisham- Great summer read. Its Grishams return to the sequal of the blockbuster book and film,The Firm after a fifteen year absence. The film featured Tom Cruise and was as global sensation. I encourage you to read The Exchange before the end of the summer. Warning, you will be on the edge of your seat at every turn.
- : My admiration of Heather Cox Richardson started with her column, Letter from an American. An incredibly gifted writer and historian, she gives us a dose of her analysis as a historian married with events spanning history today. On a recent trip to Kramer Books in Washington DC, I found her book, Democracy Awakening, and I was hooked. She is an unapologetic fan of the President Biden and his policies.
